Answer 1

To find the distance between the points \((-27, 33)\) and \((13, 33)\), we can use the distance formula. However, since both points have the same y-coordinate (33), the distance can simply be found by calculating the difference between the x-coordinates.

The x-coordinates are \(-27\) and \(13\). The distance between them is:

\[
|13 - (-27)| = |13 + 27| = |40| = 40
\]

Thus, the distance between the two points is 40.

The correct answer is:

**40**
