Question

Find the length of AB to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Answer: 7 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:  The required length of AB is 7.28 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the length of line segment AB to the nearest hundredth.

From the graph, we note that the co-ordinates of point A are (-5, -4) and co-ordinates of B are (-3, 3).

We know that the length of AB is the distance between the points A and B.

DISTANCE FORMULA :  The distance between the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

$D=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}.$

The distance between the points A(-5, -4) and B(-3, 3) is given by

$D=\sqrt{(-3+5)^2+(3+4)^2}=\sqrt{4+49}=\sqrt{53}=7.2801.$

Rounding to nearest hundredth, we get

D = 7.28 units.

Thus, the required length of AB is 7.28 units.
