\(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle a^2+b^2=c^2 }\) You can imagine/picture that right triangle (through (0,-2)). \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle a=8\quad \quad b=7 }\) \(\color{#000000 }{ \displaystyle 8^2+7^2=c^2 }\)

you can use distance formula which go from pythogorian theorem: \[\huge\bf d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

points are (0, 6) and (7, -2) substitute: \[\huge\bf\color{red}{d=\sqrt{(0-7)^2+(6+2)^2}=?}\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yup, practically, the same thing :)

OpenStudy (yuliacosta111):

is the answer 10.63

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):
