Question

What is the length of the segment joining the points at (-6, 8) and (6, 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So the length of those 2 points is 6+6 = 12.

The height would be 8-3 =5

Using pythagoras, you can find out the length of the line joining the 2 points so:

$5^2 + 12^2 = 169$

$\sqrt{169} = 13$ units
