Question

What is the distance between the points (2, 1) and (14, 6) on a coordinate
plane?
A. 14 units
B. 13 units
C. 5 units
D. 12 units

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple really you take the x axis and subtract it by the answer

Answer 2

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$

a = horizontal distance = 14 - 2 = 12

b = vertical distance = 6 - 1 = 5

so $12^{2} + 5^{2} = c^{2}$

$c^{2} = 169$

c = 13
