Find the distance between these two points using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Which choice is correct?
(1 point)
V (62 +102) = √136
62+3225
32-5220
52+72=√136
To find the distance between two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we use the formula:
distance = √( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )
Let's label the coordinates of the two points as follows:
Point 1: (x1, y1) = (6, 2)
Point 2: (x2, y2) = (10, 2)
Substitute the values into the formula:
distance = √( (10 - 6)^2 + (2 - 2)^2 )
distance = √(4^2)
distance = √16
distance = 4
Therefore, the correct choice is V (62 +102) = √136.
