Find the distance between the points (14, 9) and (-1, -9).
A) $\sqrt { 183 }$
B) $3 \sqrt { 61 }$
C) $\sqrt { 61 }$
D) 61

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be found using the distance formula:
d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Using this formula, we get:
d = sqrt((-1 - 14)^2 + (-9 - 9)^2)
d = sqrt((-15)^2 + (-18)^2)
d = sqrt(225 + 324)
d = sqrt(549)
d = sqrt(3^2 * 61)
d = 3sqrt(61)
Therefore, the distance between the given points is 3sqrt(61), which corresponds to answer choice B.
