Question

Find the distance between the following pair of points.

$(0,17)$ and $(0,-1)$

Answer 1

Take points $A(0,17)$ and $B(0,-1)$

To find the distance between two point $A(x_1,y_1)$ and $B(x_2,y_2)$, distance formula is used which is given by:

$AB=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2{)}^2+(y_1-y_2{)}^2}$

So, $AB=\sqrt{(0-0{)}^2+(17-(-1){)}^2}=\sqrt{(18{)}^2}=18$.
