@ckellar2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I'm afraid neither

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Will you please make some effort instead of guessing (if you did not obtain 10 or 16 by guessing then would you please show your steps)

Joshua and Martina are playing a game where Martina is trying to guess the point Joshua's boat is at on a coordinate plane. Joshua's boat is at the point (1, 3), but Martina guesses that the boat is at the point (8, 3). What is the distance between Martina's guess and the actual location of the boat? 15 units 7 units 4 units 9 units

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

That is asking the distance between (1,3) and (8,3)

(1, 3) and (8, 3) have the same y coordinate, y = 3 so you can subtract the x coordinates and force the result to be positive to get the distance

OpenStudy (samara8954):

so the answr is 7

yes
