Question

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical
form.
(3,0) and (-3, -8)

Answer 1

Answer: 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

     We will use the distance formula and solve. Let (3, 0) be point 1 and (-3, -8) be point 2.

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1})^{2} +(y_{2} -y_{1} )^{2} }$

d = $\sqrt{(-3-3)^{2} +(-8-0)^{2} }$

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

d = $\sqrt{36 +64}$

d = $\sqrt{100}$

d = 10

            The distance between the two points given is 10 units.
