Given Coordinates: x1 = 8 y1 = 18, x2 = 6 y2 = 10
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(6 − 8)2 + (10 − 18)2
d = √(-2)2 + (-8)2
d = √4 + 64
d = √68
d = √4 * 17
d = √4 * √17
d = 2√17
Therefore, the distance between the points (8, 18) and (6, 10) is equal to 2√17
Note: As a decimal number, 2√17 ≈ 8.2462112512353
