We will determine the distance between the points as follows:

*First, we calculate the directional vector of the two points, that is:

[tex](1,6)-(-8,-6)=(9,12)[/tex]

Now, we calculate the distance:

[tex]d=\sqrt[]{9^2+12^2}\Rightarrow d=15[/tex]

From this, the distance equals 15 units.

***The triangle that is formed is:
