5 feet

4 feet

Given:
Sunflower (2,6)
Lilies (5,5)
Daisies (2,1)
Roses (5,1)

Answer 1

To calculate the distance between the sunflowers (located at the coordinate (2, 6)) and the daisies (located at the coordinate (2, 1)), we can use the distance formula. However, since both points share the same x-coordinate, we can simplify our calculation.

The coordinates for the sunflowers are \( (2, 6) \) and for the daisies are \( (2, 1) \). The distance between points with the same x-coordinate can be found by subtracting the y-coordinates:

\[
\text{Distance} = |y_2 - y_1| = |1 - 6| = |-5| = 5 \text{ feet}
\]

Thus, the distance between the sunflowers and the daisies is **5 feet**.
