Using the formula;

d(Y, Z) =\sqrt{(xZ - xY)^2 + (yZ - yY)^2

You should get 12.1655 or 12.2 units.

Hope this helps you with Coordinate Solving!

Answer: The answer is 2√37 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the line segment YZ has endpoints Y(0, 5) and Z(12, 3). We are to find the length of the line segment YZ.

The length of YZ will be the distance between the endpoints Y and Z.

The distance between Y and Z will be given by


YZ=\sqrt{(0-12)^(2)+(5-3)^2}=√(144+4)=√(148)=2√(37)=12.16\sim 12.1.

Thus, the length of YZ is 12.1 units.
