Question

What is the length of line segment ab

Answer 1

The length of the line segment here is 13.

Distance Formula:
√((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁))
√((5 - 0)² + (0 - 12)²) = 13

Answer 2

The length of line segment is 13 units

Explanation:

Given the line segment AB.

we have to find the length of line segment.

The coordinates of A and B are (0, 12) and (5, 0) respectively.

By distance formula,

`\text{The distance between the points }A(x_1,y_1)\text{ and } B(x_2, y_2)`

`AB=√((x_2-x_1)^2+y_2-y_1)^2)`

`AB=√((5-0)^2+(0-12)^2)`

`AB=√(25+144)=√(169)=13 units`

Hence, the length of line segment is 13 units.
