Answer:

The length of segment AB is 13 units.

Explanation:

Formula

$Distance\ Formula = \sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+ (y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)$

As shown in the diagram points of A (0,12) and B (5,0) .

Putting the value in the formula

$AB = \sqrt{(5-0)^(2)+ (0-12)^(2)$

AB = √((25+ 144))

AB = √(169)

√(169)= 13

AB = 13 units

Therefore the length of segment AB is 13 units.
