X (3, 4) and Y (9, 4)

1 answer

To find the distance between X and Y, we can use the formula:

distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Using the given coordinates:

x1 = 3, y1 = 4
x2 = 9, y2 = 4

Substituting these values in the formula:

distance = √[(9 - 3)^2 + (4 - 4)^2]
distance = √[6^2 + 0^2]
distance = √36
distance = 6

Therefore, the distance between X and Y is 6 units.
