Explanation:
#"to calculate the distance use the "color(blue)"distance formula"#
#color(red)(bar(ul(|color(white)(2/2)color(black)(d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2))color(white)(2/2)|)))#
where# (x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)" are 2 coordinate points"#
#"the 2 points here are " (6,-12)" and " (12,8)#
#"let " (x_1,y_1)=(6,-12)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(12,8)#
#d=sqrt((12-6)^2+(8-(-12))^2)#
#color(white)(d)=sqrt(6^2+20^2)#
#color(white)(d)=sqrt436~~20.88" to 2 decimal places"#
