Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between points B and C.
A √18 units
B √55 units
C √64 units
D √73 units
To find the distance between points B and C using the Pythagorean Theorem, you’ll want to know the coordinates of the points. Assuming points B and C are defined in a plane, you can calculate the distance with the formula:
[
d = sqrt{(x_2 – x_1)^2 + (y_2 – y_1)^2}
]
Once you have the values for (x_1), (y_1), (x_2), and (y_2), plug them into the formula to find (d).
However, based on your answer choices (√18, √55, √64, √73), it seems you’ve already calculated or been given the answers. If you can confirm the values for the coordinates of points B and C, I can help you determine which of the given options is correct.
For now, if you’ve followed the Pythagorean Theorem correctly with valid coordinates, you’ll find one of the answers corresponds to your calculation. If you need further details, don’t hesitate to ask or check the extended services page for more in-depth assistance!
