- Distance= 28.Because these two points form a vertical line, you
could just count the number of spaces along the line’s length to
find the distance between •A and •B. However, using the distance
formula: d= (x 2 – x 1 )^2 + (y 2 – y 1 )^2 = (0 – 0)^2 + (4 –32)^2 =
0 ^2 + (–28)^2 = 784 = 28
- Distance= 26 .d= (x 2 – x 1 )^2 + (y 2 – y 1 )^2 = (–1 – 4)^2 + (–2 – (–1))^2 =
(–5)^2 +(–1)^2 = 25 + 1= 26
- Distance= 10.d= (x 2 – x 1 )^2 + (y 2 – y 1 )^2 = (–3 – 7)^2 +(3– 3)^2 =
(–10)^2 + (0)^2 = 100 = 10. Again, because these two points form
a horizontal line, you could just count the number of spaces along
the line’s length to find the distance between •E and •F.
- Distance= 20.d= (x 2 – x 1 )^2 + (y 2 – y 1 )^2 = (17 – (–3)^2 +(0 – 0)^2 =
(20)^2 +(0)^2 = 400 = 20. Because these two points also form a
horizontal line, you could just count the spaces along the line’s
length to find the distance between •G and •H.
