Find the distance between the points ( – 5.8,7.2) and ( – 5.8,2.7).

Question

whats the answer to this question

Answer 1

4.5

7.2 - 2.7 = 4.5

the points are vertically in a line. You can use the distance formula d^2 = x^2 + y^2 where x= the difference in x values and y= the difference in y values, but since the x values are the same, the formula collapses to d^2 = y^2 or d = the difference in the y values: 7.2-2.7 = 4.5
