Question

Find the length of the segment. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of the line segment: 5.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of a line segment, you must us the formula:

D=$\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

1. well, you must first identify your coordinates

Point A is (-2, -4) which is ($x_1$, $y_1$)

Point B is (1, 1) which is ($x_2$, $y_2$)

2. Now you put these coordinates into your equation

D=$\sqrt{(1--2)^2+(1--4)^2}$

Ofc, you gotta keep in mind of any double negatives

D=$\sqrt{(1+2)^2+(1+4)^2}$

3. simplify

D=$\sqrt{(3)^2+(5)^2}$

D=$\sqrt{9+25}$

D=$\sqrt{34}$

The square root of 34 is 5.83095189.... in decimal form

4. Round it to the nearest tenth

5.83 and since 3 is lower than five, it does nothing

5.8= The length of your line segment!
