Question

Find the length of the segment with endpoints ( 8,3) and (10, -2).

Answer 1

Answer:

5.39 units (3 s.f.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between 2 points

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

Length of the segments

$= \sqrt{(3 - ( - 2))^{2} + (8 - 10)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{5^{2} + ( - 2)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{29} \\ = 5.39 \: units \: (3 \: s.f.)$
