Question

What is the distance between the points of A (-3, 8) and B (3, 8)? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

answer is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

distance= √ [ (x2-x1) + ( y2-y1)]

= √(6^2+ 0^2)

= 6

Answer 2

The answer is 6 units

Given: A(-3, 8)  B(3, 8)

To find: distance between A and B

Solution:

The formula for distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by

d = $\sqrt{ [ (x_{2} -x_{1} )^{2} + ( y_{2} -y_{1} )^{2} ]} }$

⇒ Distance between A(-3, 8)  B(3, 8)

= $\sqrt{ [ (3-(-3) )^{2} + ( 8 -8)^{2} ]} }$  

= $\sqrt{ [ (3+3) )^{2} + (0)^{2} ]} }$

=  $\sqrt{ [ (6 )^{2} + (0)} ]} }$ = $\sqrt{6^{2} }$ = 6

Therefore, distance between A and B = 6
