Question

How many units long is a segment whose endpoints are (2,3) and (7,15)?

Answer 1

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance formula: $d = \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}$

Simply plug in your variables

$d = \sqrt{(7-2)^2 + (15-3)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2}$

$d = \sqrt{25 + 144}$

$d = \sqrt{169}$

d = 13
