Tiana would like to build a ramp for her dog over some stairs. Compute the distance between points A and B
A (-7, 6)
B (-2, -6)
To compute the distance between points A (-7, 6) and B (-2, -6), we can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is given by:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, x1 = -7, y1 = 6, x2 = -2, and y2 = -6.
Plugging these values into the distance formula:
d = √((-2 - (-7))^2 + (-6 - 6)^2)
= √((5)^2 + (-12)^2)
= √(25 + 144)
= √(169)
= 13
Therefore, the distance between points A and B is 13 units.
