To find the distance between points A and B, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Let's assume point A is at (0,0) and point B is at (6,18).
The distance between two points in a 2D plane is given by the formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the values:
Distance = sqrt((6 - 0)^2 + (18 - 0)^2)
Distance = sqrt(6^2 + 18^2)
Distance = sqrt(36 + 324)
Distance = sqrt(360)
Distance = 18 units
Therefore, the distance between points A and B is 18 units.
provide a picture
I'm unable to provide pictures as a text-based AI. However, you can visualize points A and B on a 2D coordinate plane with the coordinates provided (A at (0,0) and B at (6,18)). Then, you can draw a right triangle connecting these points and use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the distance between them.
those aren't the points
I apologize for the mistake. Can you please provide the correct coordinates for points A and B so that I can accurately calculate the distance between them using the Pythagorean Theorem? Thank you.
the points are (1,0) and (3,4)
Thank you for providing the correct coordinates for points A and B. Let's calculate the distance between points (1,0) and (3,4) using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Let point A be (1,0) and point B be (3,4).
The distance between two points in a 2D plane is given by the formula:
Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Plugging in the values:
Distance = sqrt((3 - 1)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)
Distance = sqrt(2^2 + 4^2)
Distance = sqrt(4 + 16)
Distance = sqrt(20)
Distance = 4.47 units (approximately)
Therefore, the distance between points (1,0) and (3,4) is approximately 4.47 units.
that's not the answer
I apologize for the mistake in my previous calculation. Let's correct it:
Given points A(1,0) and B(3,4), we can calculate the distance using the Pythagorean Theorem:
Distance = sqrt((3 - 1)^2 + (4 - 0)^2)
Distance = sqrt(2^2 + 4^2)
Distance = sqrt(4 + 16)
Distance = sqrt(20)
Distance = 2 * sqrt(5) units
Therefore, the distance between points A(1,0) and B(3,4) is 2 * sqrt(5) units.
