Question

Joshua and Martina are playing a game where Martina is trying to guess the point Joshua's boat is at on a coordinate plane. Joshua's boat is at the point (1, 3), but Martina guesses that the boat is at the point (8, 3). What is the distance between Martina's guess and the actual location of the boat?

Answer 1

(7,0) is the distance between martina's guess and where the boat actually is

Answer 2

Answer:

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The second coordinates of both points are the same, and the first coordinates are both positive.

Therefore, the distance is the difference of the first coordinates.

8-1=7

So, the distance between Martina's guess and the location of the boat is 7 units.
