Question

Find the distance between the points (0,15) and (8,0).

Answer 1

sqrt(8^2 + 15^2 )

Answer 2

sqrt(64 + 225)

= 17

Answer 3

answer is 17 units

Answer 4

d = sqrt(15^2 + 8^2)
=17

Answer 5

More precisely, it is the square root of the change in each point.

\[\sqrt{(x _{2 } - x_{1})^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1})^2}\]

\[\sqrt{(8 - 0)^2 + (0 - 15)^2}\]

Answer 6

misspac, do you understand how to use the distance formula? You've been asking a lot of very similar questions about it.

Answer 7

There's a much easier way to understand this. If you understand pythagorean theorem, you can understand this
