Question

To the nearest hundreth, what is the length of line segment AB?

Answer 1

The answer is BBB Bb

Answer 2

Answer:

option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the length using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(2, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 6, 4)

AB = $\sqrt{(-6-2)^2+(4-2)^2}$

      = $\sqrt{(-8)^2+2^2}$

      = $\sqrt{64+4}$

      = $\sqrt{68}$

       ≈ 8.25 ( to 2 dec. places )
