The distance between (8, 6) and (8, -2) is 8 units.
Distance between the two points:
Distance between two points is the length of the line segment that connects two given points.
Formula for the distance between two points:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1}) ^{2} +(y_{2} -y_{1}) ^{2} }[/tex]
According to the given question
We have two points
(8, 6) and (8, -2)
Let,
[tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} ) = (8,6)[/tex]
and, [tex](x_{2},y_{2}) =(8,-6)[/tex]
Therefore,
The total distance between (8, 6) and (8, -2)
[tex]=\sqrt{(8-8)^{2}+(-2-6)^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{0+(-8)^{2} }[/tex]
[tex]=\sqrt{64}[/tex]
[tex]=8[/tex] unit
Hence, the distance between (8, 6) and (8, -2) is 8 units.
