Question

what is the distance between the point P(0,2) and (0,6)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pls follow me

Step-by-step explanation:

4 units.

The distance formula is: D=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

Note: The distance is always going to be a positive number.

For (0,2) and (0,6) , the x coordinates are both the same, so you only need to subtract the y coordinates to get the distance.

The y coordinates are 2 and 6 , respectively, so the distance is: 6−2= 4 units.

If you used the distance formula, plugging in all values:

D=(0−0)2+(6−2)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

D=02+42−−−−−−√

D=0+16−−−−−√

D=16−−√

D=4

which is the exact same answer as that in the other method.

Hope it helps!
