Question

What is the distance between the points (-20, 18) and (-14,
26)?
Select one:
10 units
100 units
36 units
8 units

Answer 1

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is:

$\sqrt{ {(x _{2} - x_{1}) }^{2} + {( y_{2} - y_{1}) }^{2} }$

$\sqrt{{( - 14 - ( - 20))}^{2} + {(26 - 18)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {6}^{2} + {8}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{100} \\ = 10$
