Question
Given the coordinates (9,−2) , (9,−11) , (15,−4) , and (15,−13) , what is the length of each of the two longest sides of the quadrilateral, in cm?(1 point)
cm
please get it right
To find the distance between the pool and your house, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the coordinates of the pool are (2, 20) and the coordinates of your house are (2, 18). Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Distance = sqrt((2 - 2)^2 + (20 - 18)^2)
Distance = sqrt(0^2 + 2^2)
Distance = sqrt(0 + 4)
Distance = sqrt(4)
Distance = 2
Therefore, your house is 2 miles away from the pool.
The two longest sides of the quadrilateral are 9 units away from each other. Therefore, the length of each of the two longest sides is 9 cm.
A neighborhood map was created on a coordinate plane. Each grid represents one mile. If the pool is on coordinates (2, 20) , and your house is on coordinates (2, 18) , how many miles is your house from the pool?(1 point)
miles
