This is the question.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok let me read it over
OpenStudy (sarah.ranee):
Okay
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
The tree on the left is located at (35,28)
what is the x coordinate of this point?
OpenStudy (sarah.ranee):
35?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes how about the other tree? what is the x coordinate of that other point?
OpenStudy (sarah.ranee):
70
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how far is it from 35 to 70?
think of a number line
OpenStudy (sarah.ranee):
35 units.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yep, you find that by subtracting
70 - 35 = 35

now focus on the y coordinates
the point (35,28) has the y coordinate of 28
the point (70,15) has the y coordinate of 15
how far is it from 15 to 28 on the number line?
OpenStudy (sarah.ranee):
13
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
good
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so imagine we had these two points plotted
the two points (35,28) and (70,15)
|dw:1464323903214:dw|
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
we can form a right triangle like this
|dw:1464323940080:dw|
