Question

Point D has coordinates (8,3). Point G has coordinates (-4,3). What is the length of segment DG?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate DG using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = D (8, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = G (- 4, 3 )

DG = $\sqrt{(-4-8)^2+(3-3))^2}$

     = $\sqrt{(-12)^2+0^2}$

     = $\sqrt{144+0}$

    = $\sqrt{144}$

    = 12

Answer 2

Answer: 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If you graph them on a graph you count the units between them and that is your anwser.
