Use the ruler postulate to calculate the distance between p, which is at 7, and q, which is at 24. a. 15 b. 16 c. 17 d. 18

C. 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule postulate says that "the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference of the corresponding numbers."

Let the two points be given:

P = 7

Q = 24

And let D be the distance between the two points.

So,

D = │P-Q│ = │7-24│ =│-17│ = 17

So, the correct answer is C. 17

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
