Question

What is the length of segment AB?

Answer 1

Answer:

$AB = 10 units$

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of segment AB can be calculated using distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$ , to calculate the distance between point A(6, 2) and point B(0, 10).

A(6, 2) can be (x1, y1),

B(0, 10) can be (x2, y2)

$d = \sqrt{(0 - 6)^2 + (10 - 2)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{(-6)^2 + (8)^2}$

$d = \sqrt{36 + 64}$

$d = \sqrt{100}$

$d = 10$
