Samantha would like to build a ramp for her dog over some stairs. Compute the distance between points C and D
C (10, -1)
D (5, 11)
To compute the distance between points C(10, -1) and D(5, 11), we can use the distance formula:
distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Plugging in the values, we get:
distance = √[(5 - 10)^2 + (11 - (-1))^2]
distance = √[(-5)^2 + (11 + 1)^2]
distance = √[25 + 12^2]
distance = √[25 + 144]
distance = √169
distance = 13
Therefore, the distance between points C and D is 13.
