find the distance between two points and a triangle on the graph.
points are:
12,9 and 0,4
options for answers:
A.15 units
B.14units
C.13 units
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using the given points:
Point A: (12, 9)
Point B: (0, 4)
We can substitute the values into the formula:
Distance = √((0 - 12)^2 + (4 - 9)^2)
Distance = √((-12)^2 + (-5)^2)
Distance = √(144 + 25)
Distance = √169
Distance = 13 units
Therefore, the distance between the two points is 13 units. The correct option is C.
