Question

A polygon has the following coordinates: A(6,-7), B(1,-7), C(1,-4), D(3,-2), E(7,-2), F(7,-4). Find the length of EF.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length of segment EF is 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

we have

$E(7,-2), F(7,-4)$

substitute in the formula

$EF=\sqrt{(-4+2)^{2}+(7-7)^{2}}$

$EF=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(0)^{2}}$

$EF=\sqrt{4}\ units$

$EF=2\ units$
