Question

Triangle LMN has the vertices shown on the coordinate grid.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  d. √74 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is useful for finding the length of a line segment.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

Filling in the point coordinates L(-5, -3) and M(0, 4), we find the length of LM to be ...

  LM = √((0-(-5))^2 +(4 -(-3))^2) = √(25 +49)

  LM = √74 . . . units
