Question

What is the exact distance from (−4, −2) to (4, 6)? (4 points)

a
square root of 24. units

b
square root of 88. units

c
square root of 100. units

d
square root of 128. units

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this. Since the x values of these points have a difference of 8, and the y values of these points have a difference of 8, we get

8² + 8² = c²

We can simplify this to get

64 + 64 = c²

Which is further simplified into

128 = c²

So the correct answer is D!
