To find the distance between two points in a coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula. The distance formula is given by:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the coordinates of the first point are (1, 8) and the coordinates of the second point are (7, 8). Plugging these values into the distance formula, we get:
d = √((7 - 1)^2 + (8 - 8)^2)
Simplifying further:
d = √(6^2 + 0)
d = √(36 + 0)
d = √36
d = 6
Therefore, the distance from (1, 8) to (7, 8) is 6. So the answer is A) 6.
