Question

What is the length of line segment FE?

Enter your answer, as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

The distance between two points (x₁,y₁),(x₂,y₂) = d

`d = \sqrt{ (x2-x1)^(2) + (y2-y1)^(2) }`

The coordinates of point F = (-2,4)
The coordinates of point E = (-7,0)

the length of line segment FE =
`\sqrt{ (-7-(-2))^(2) + (0-4)^(2) }`
= √41
≈ 6.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
