Question

in a coordinate plane what is the length of the line segment that connects points (3, 3) and (8, 7)? round to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

6.40

Explanation:

• a^2 + b^2 = c^2
• X-values: 8 - 3 = 5 (length of a)
• Y-values: 7 - 3 = 4 (length of b)
• 5^2 + 4^2 = c^2
• 25 + 16 = c^2
• 41 = c^2
• square root (41) = c
• c = 6.40
