What is the distance between the points (2 and one-half, negative 8) and (2 and one-half, 3) Sukant’s work is shown below?

StartAbsoluteValue 2 and one-half EndAbsoluteValue + StartAbsoluteValue 2 and one-half EndAbsoluteValue = 2 and one-half + 2 and one-half = 5. The distance is 5 units.

What error did Sukant make?

Given Information:

Point 1 = ( 2½, -8)

Point 2 = ( 2½, 3)

Required Information:

Distance between two points = d = ?

Distance between two points =

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is calculated using

  eq. 1

We have (x₁, y₁) = (2½, -8) and (x₂, y₂) = (2½, 3)

Substitute the above points into the eq. 1

it is very unclear as what error did Sukant make due to unclear typing!

But I guess, Sukant simply added the x-coordinates together that is

d = 2½ + 2½ = 5 units

Note: 2½ = 5/2 = 2.5

the answer is 375 miles
