Worked practice questions

Since distance can never be negative, the distance formula takes:

  1. Neither of the roots
  2. Only the positive root
  3. Only the negative root
  4. Both roots equally
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Only the positive root

1. A square root has two signs. 2. A length cannot be below zero. 3. Only the positive square root is used. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 7, Coordinate Geometry._

The distance between the points (4, 6) and (6, 8) is:

  1. 2 root 2
  2. 3 root 2
  3. 4 root 2
  4. 5 root 2
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 2 root 2

1. The horizontal gap is 2 and the vertical gap is 2. 2. The square root of 4 plus 4 is root 8. 3. That is 2 root 2 units. _Source: syllabus Mathematics, Chapter 7, Coordinate Geometry._
