A rectangle is graphed on a coordinate plane. The
coordinates for two of the vertices of the rectangle are
(-5, 8) and (-5, -6). What is the distance between
the two vertices?

The two vertices (-5, 8) and (-5, -6) of the rectangle have the same x-coordinates

The distance between the two vertices is 14 units

How to determine the distance between the two vertices?

The vertices are given as:

(-5, 8) and (-5, -6)

The distance between the two vertices is calculated using:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

So, we have:

d = √[(-5 + 5)^2 + (8 + 6)^2]

Evaluate the sum

d = √196

Evaluate the square root

d = 14

Hence, the distance between the two vertices is 14 units
