To find the distance between two points using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the coordinates of the two points: (-1, 6) and (5, -2).

2. Subtract the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates separately to find the differences between the two points:
Δx = x2 - x1 = 5 - (-1) = 6
Δy = y2 - y1 = -2 - 6 = -8

3. Plug the differences into the Pythagorean Theorem formula, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (distance) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides:
c^2 = Δx^2 + Δy^2
c^2 = 6^2 + (-8)^2
c^2 = 36 + 64
c^2 = 100

4. Take the square root of both sides to find the length of the hypotenuse (distance):
c = √100
c = 10

Therefore, the length between (-1, 6) and (5, -2) is 10 units. The correct answer is 10.

Answer 6

Use the image to answer the question.

A graph shows quadrant 1 with the x-axis and y-axis ranging from 0 to positive 5. Data points marked are point A at left parenthesis 1 comma 2 right parenthesis, point B at left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis, point C at left parenthesis 3 comma 4 right parenthesis, and point D at left parenthesis 1 comma 4 right parenthesis. A line joins points A to B, B to C, C to D, and D to A, forming a rectangle.

To find the length of the diagonal of the square formed by the points A(1, 2), B(3, 2), C(3, 4), and D(1, 4), we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal of a square forms a right triangle with two sides equal to the side length of the square.

1. Calculate the length of one side of the square:
The distance between A(1, 2) and B(3, 2) is 2 units.
The distance between B(3, 2) and C(3, 4) is 2 units.
Thus, the length of one side of the square is 2 units.

2. Use the length of one side of the square to find the length of the diagonal:
The diagonal forms a right triangle with two sides of length 2 units.
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2.
Here, a = 2 and b = 2.
c^2 = 2^2 + 2^2
c^2 = 4 + 4
c^2 = 8
c ≈ √8 ≈ 2.83 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Therefore, the length of the diagonal of the square formed by the given points is approximately 2.83 units. The correct answer is 2.83.
