Question

If the distance between the points (8, p) and (4,3) is 5 units, then the value of p is

PLS FAST PLSSSSS

Answer 1

Answer:

By the method of distance formula I have found it.. Just take a look and utilise it..

By distance formula,

$5 = \sqrt{(8 - 4)^{2} + (p - 3)^{2} } \\5^{2} = 4^{2} + (p - 3)^{2} \\3^{2} = (p - 3)^{2} \\(p - 3) = 3 or (p - 3) = -3\\\\p = 6 or p = 0$

thus we get the values of p...

Answer:

By the method of distance formula I have found it.. Just take a look and utilise it..

By distance formula,

$$\begin{lgathered}5 = \sqrt{(8 - 4)^{2} + (p - 3)^{2} } \\5^{2} = 4^{2} + (p - 3)^{2} \\3^{2} = (p - 3)^{2} \\(p - 3) = 3 or (p - 3) = -3\\\\p = 6 or p = 0\end{lgathered}$$

thus we get the values of p...
