Question

To the nearest unit, what is the distance between points G and H?

A. 12 units <---
B. 13 units
C. 14 units
D. 15 units

Answer 1

i cant read it
what are the coordinates of each point?

Answer 2

You can't? Why not?

Answer 3

too small

Answer 4

maybe \((-4,-6)\) and \((4,4)\) ?

Answer 5

is that right?

Answer 6

lets assume it is right
how far from \(-4\) to \(4\) ?

Answer 7

@satellite73 would it be x,y or y,x?

Answer 8

the x comes first, just like in the alphabet

Answer 9

I think this is what they are...

H - (4,4)
G - (-4,-6)

Answer 10

ok like i thought, good
how far in the x direction from \(-4\) to \(4\) ?

Answer 11

did i lose you?

Answer 12

No, I'm here. I hate graphs. :( They confuse me. This is what I did to get 12...

Answer 13

lets go slow

Answer 14

kk

Answer 15

from \(-4\) to \(4\) is \(8\) units to the right
or \(4-(-4)=8\)

Answer 16

not to slow though. :) it's 12'31 am here.

Answer 17

from \(-6\) to \(4\) is \(10\) units up , or \(4-(-6)=10\)

Answer 18

then you are being asked once again for the hypotenuse of the triangle

Answer 19

solve
\[8^2+10^2=h^2\] for \(h\)

Answer 20

\(8^2+10^2=64+100=164\) making \(h^2=164\) and so \(h=\sqrt{164}\)

Answer 21

that is close to 13 then 12, since \(\sqrt{164}=12.8\) about

Answer 22

So I was right?!?! :):):)

Answer 23

you are right, it is late
past my bed time

unfortunately no, it is closer to 13 than to 12

Answer 24

Or wait no... 12,8 is going to round up to 13. :)

Answer 25

good luck on your exam!
