Given that 13 is the distance between the points (5, 6) and (17,t) on the
Cartesian plane, find the possible values of t.

Hello,

The distance between two points A and B is : AB = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{B}-x_{A} )^{2} + (y_{B}-y_{A} )^{2} }[/tex]

Replacing with the numbers, we get : 13 = [tex]\sqrt{144 + (t-6 )^{2} }[/tex]

So, the anwsers of this equation are : S = {1 ; 11}
