Am I Correct? How many units apart are the points (-8, -8) and (4, 8)?


I have 12 or 20 for an answer, I need clarification, please! Thanks!

Answer 1

one of those is correct

Answer 2

I'm assuming you used the distance formula, correct?

Answer 3

Yes!

Answer 4

can you post your work

Answer 5

(-8 + 8) ^2 + (8-4)^2
64+16
80

... is this right so far?

Answer 6

it should be

(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)

(4 - (-8))^2 + (8 - (-8))^2

(4+8)^2 + (8+8)^2

I'll let you finish

after all of that computation, you take the square root of that result

Answer 7

20?
