Question

The length of segment with endpoints (1,6) and (3,0)

Answer 1

`2√(10)`

Explanation:

Use the distance formula.

The distance, d, between points
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)` is given by the distance formula below:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`

In your case, we have:

`x_1 = 1`

`y_1 = 6`

`x_2 = 3`

`y_2 = 0`

Now we use those values in the formula.

`d = √((3 - 1)^2 + (0 - 6)^2)`

`d = √(2^2 + (-6)^2)`

`d = √(4 + 36)`

`d = √(40)`

`d = √(4 * 10)`

`d = 2√(10)`

Answer 2

just use distance formula.

Explanation:

`\sqrt{} |x2 - x1 | \: \: + |y2 - y1|`

let (1,6) be x1 and y1..and let (3,0) be x2 and y2
