Question

One leg of a triangle in the rectangular coordinate system has vertices (3,5) and (6,9) determine the length of this leg of the triangle

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length or distance between two points, use the distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(6-3)^2 + (9-5)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (4)^2} \\d = \sqrt{9 + 16} \\d = \sqrt{25} \\d=5$
