Question

One leg of a triangle in the rectangular coordinate system has vertices (3,5) and (6,9) determine the length of this leg of the triangle

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To find the length or distance between two points, use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2) \\d = √((6-3)^2 + (9-5)^2) \\d = √((3)^2 + (4)^2) \\d = √(9 + 16) \\d = √(25) \\d=5`
