Question

YZ has endpoints Y(0,5) and Z (12,3). Find the length of YZ to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Using the formula;
 $d(Y, Z) =\sqrt{(xZ - xY)^2 + (yZ - yY)^2$

You should get 12.1655 or 12.2 units.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 2√37 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the line segment YZ has endpoints Y(0, 5) and Z(12, 3). We are to find the length of the line segment YZ.

The length of YZ will be the distance between the endpoints Y and Z.

The distance between Y and Z will be given by

$YZ=\sqrt{(0-12)^{2}+(5-3)^2}=\sqrt{144+4}=\sqrt{148}=2\sqrt{37}=12.16\sim 12.1.$

Thus, the length of YZ is 12.1 units.
