What is the distance between (-8,5) and (-1,5)

7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the formula for distance between two points is given as

Distance, D = √(  (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²  )

in our case, we are given

(x₁, y₁) = (-8,5)

(x₂, y₂) = (-1,5)

simply substitute the values into the equation above:

D = √(  (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²  )

= √{  [ (-1)-(-8) ]² + (5-5)²  }

= √{  [ (-1 + 8) ]² + (0)²  }

= √[ (7) ² ]

= 7 units (answer)

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
