Answer 1

To find the distance between the points \((-29, 24)\) and \((-47, 24)\), we can use the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane.

Since both points have the same \(y\)-coordinate (24), we can simply calculate the distance along the \(x\)-axis:

Distance = \(|x_2 - x_1| = |-47 - (-29)| = |-47 + 29| = |-18| = 18\).

Thus, the distance from \((-29, 24)\) to \((-47, 24)\) is 18.
