The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the distances for both Quantity A and Quantity B using the distance formula. The distance formula between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] ### Step 1: Calculate the distance for Quantity A The points given for Quantity A are \((0, 9)\) and \((-2, 0)\). 1. Identify the coordinates: - \(x_1 = 0\), \(y_1 = 9\) - \(x_2 = -2\), \(y_2 = 0\) 2. Substitute the values into the distance formula: \[ d_A = \sqrt{((-2) - 0)^2 + (0 - 9)^2} \] 3. Simplify the expression: \[ d_A = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (-9)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 81} = \sqrt{85} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the distance for Quantity B The points given for Quantity B are \((3, 9)\) and \((10, 3)\). 1. Identify the coordinates: - \(x_1 = 3\), \(y_1 = 9\) - \(x_2 = 10\), \(y_2 = 3\) 2. Substitute the values into the distance formula: \[ d_B = \sqrt{(10 - 3)^2 + (3 - 9)^2} \] 3. Simplify the expression: \[ d_B = \sqrt{(7)^2 + (-6)^2} = \sqrt{49 + 36} = \sqrt{85} \] ### Step 3: Compare the distances Now that we have calculated both distances: - Quantity A: \(d_A = \sqrt{85}\) - Quantity B: \(d_B = \sqrt{85}\) Since both distances are equal, we conclude that: **Final Answer:** The two quantities are equal.
