Question

Find the length of segment AB​

Answer 1

Answer:

AB = 10.77 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If the extreme ends of a line segment are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$.

Then the length of the segment joining these extreme ends will be,

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

If the extreme ends of the line segment AB are A(-3, 1) and (7, 5).

Measure of AB = $\sqrt{(7+3)^2+(5-1)^2}$

AB = $\sqrt{100+16}$

AB = $\sqrt{116}$

AB = 10.77 units

Therefore, length of the segment AB will be 10.77 units.
