What is the distance from (-13, 12) to (-13, -77)?
A. -89
B.65
C.89
D.26
The distance between two points can be found using the formula:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the x-coordinates are the same (-13), so we only need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates:
distance = √((0)^2 + (-77 - 12)^2)
distance = √(0 + (-89)^2)
distance = √(0 + 7921)
distance = √7921
distance = 89
Therefore, the distance from (-13, 12) to (-13, -77) is 89.
Answer: C. 89
