The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the points are (1, 2) and (1, -10), so:
x1 = 1, y1 = 2
x2 = 1, y2 = -10
Plugging in the values:
Distance = √((1 - 1)^2 + (-10 - 2)^2)
Distance = √(0 + (-12)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 144)
Distance = √144
Distance = 12
Therefore, the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, -10) is 12 units.
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, the points are (1, 2) and (1, -10), so:
x1 = 1, y1 = 2
x2 = 1, y2 = -10
Plugging in the values:
Distance = √((1 - 1)^2 + (-10 - 2)^2)
Distance = √(0 + (-12)^2)
Distance = √(0 + 144)
Distance = √144
Distance = 12
Therefore, the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, -10) is 12 units.
