Question

Find the distance between these points.

W(-6, -8), X(6, 8)
20
10
square root of 8

Answer 1

d=V {8-(-8)}^2+ {6-(-6)}^2= V256+144= V400=20


the answer is 20

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance between the points is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

This could be calculated using the next equation:

$Distance=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^{2} +(y2-y1)^{2} }$

Using this equation with the given points:

$W(x1=-6,y1=-8)$ and $X(x2=6,y2=8)$

$Distance=\sqrt{(6-(-6))^{2} +(8-(-8))^{2} }$

$Distance=\sqrt{(12)^{2} +(16)^{2} }$

$Distance=\sqrt{144 + 256 }$

$Distance=\sqrt{400 }$

$Distance=20$

The distance between the points is 20.
