The distance between points S and T is 61 units.
Point S has coordinates (-6, 8) and point T has coordinates (X, -3).
What could be the value of x?
0/1

Respuesta :

The value of x if the distance between S and T is 61 units is; 54.

The distance between two points can be evaluated as follows;

  • (Distance)² = (X2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

In this case;

  • 61² = (x - (-6))² + (-3-8)²

  • 3721 = (x +6)² + 121

  • 3600 = (x +6)²

  • 60 = x + 6

  • x = 60 - 6

x = 54

Therefore, the value of x is; 54.
