Solution
The distance between the points A(0, 6) and B(0, –2) is 8.
Explanation:
Distance formula: d2 = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2
According to the question,
We have,
x1 = 0, x2 = 0
y1 = 6, y2 = – 2
d2 = (0 – 0)2 + ( – 2 – 6)2
d = `sqrt((0)^2 + (- 8)^2`
d = `sqrt(64)`
d = 8 units
Therefore, the distance between A(0, 6) and B(0, –2) is 8.
