Question
The distance between the points A (0, 6) and B (0, –2) is
(A) 6
(B) 8
(C) 4
(D) 2
Solution
The distance between two points in a 2D plane can be calculated using the formula:
Distance = sqrt[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²]
Here, the coordinates of point A are (0,6) and of point B are (0,-2).
So, x1 = 0, y1 = 6, x2 = 0, y2 = -2.
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
Distance = sqrt[(0-0)² + (-2-6)²] = sqrt[0 + 64] = sqrt[64] = 8
So, the distance between points A and B is 8 units. Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 8.
