Answer:
D = 12.94 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Coordinates of first tree = A(0,8)
Coordinates of second tree = A(12,4)
We need to find the distance between the two trees. We can find it using distance formula for coordinates as follows :
[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
We have, x₁ = 0, x₂ = 12, y₁ = 8, y₂ = 4
Now using distance formula,
[tex]D=\sqrt{(12-0)^2+(4-8)^2}\\\\=\sqrt{144+16} \\\\=12.64\ m[/tex]
So, the distance between the two trees is 12.64 m.
