Use the distance formula, which is (x2−x1)^2+(y2y1)^2. The x2 doesnt mean x squared, it's the second x coordinate.

√(3-8)^2+(14-2)^2
√25+144
√169
13

The length of AB is 13.

Hope this helps!

Answer: The required length of the given segment is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the length of the segment AB with endpoints A(3, 2) and B(8, 14).

We have the following distance formula :

Distance formula : The length of a line segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d) is given by


d=√((c-a)^2+(d-b)^2).

Therefore, the length of the segment AB is given by


AB=√((8-3)^2+(14-2)^2)=√(25+144)=√(169)=13.

Thus, the required length of the given segment is 13 units.
