Question

What is the length of segment AB?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of segment AB is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Distance\ Formula = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+ (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}$

As shown in the diagram points of A (0,12) and B (5,0) .

Putting the value in the formula

$AB = \sqrt{(5-0)^{2}+ (0-12)^{2}$

$AB = \sqrt{(25+ 144)}$

$AB = \sqrt{169}$

$\sqrt{169}= 13$

AB = 13 units

Therefore the length of segment AB is 13 units.
