To find the distance between the points (7, 8) and (8, 0) on a coordinate grid, we can use the distance formula:
D = √((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²)
Here, (x1, y1) = (7, 8) and (x2, y2) = (8, 0).
Substituting the coordinates into the formula, we get:
D = √((8 – 7)² + (0 – 8)²)
Calculating each part:
D = √((1)² + (-8)²)
Which simplifies to:
D = √(1 + 64)
D = √65
The distance between the points (7, 8) and (8, 0) is therefore:
D ≈ 8.06
This means that the two points are approximately 8.06 units apart on the coordinate grid.
