Question

If the distance between two points say A and B is 10 and the distance between the next two points say B and C is (-9.5), then find the distance between the points A and C, where A as well as C are the two distinct endpoints.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

A and B = 10

b and c = -9.5

a and c = 10+(-9.5)

=0.5

Answer 2

Given:

distance between A and B is 10

distance between B and C is (-9.5)

A as well as C are the two distinct endpoints.

distance between the points A and C

Answer:

The initial point is A and the final point is C. The distance between points A, B is 30 m and between points B, C is 40 m.

The shortest distance between points A and C is AC. This distance is calculated using the Pythagoras theorem as follows.

$AC^{2} = AB^{2} +BC^{2}$

AC = $\sqrt{AB^{2} +BC^{2} }$

with the given information,

AC = $\sqrt{10^{2} +(-9.5)^{2} }$

AC = $\sqrt{100+90.2}$

AC = $\sqrt{190.2}$

AC = 13.7 (Approx)

Hence, we got the distance between the start point and the endpoint.
