Question

Find the length for segment AB. Round to the nearest unit if necessary and enter as a whole number.

Answer 1

The length for segment AB is 5 units

Explanation:

Distance Between two Points in the Plane

Given two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We must find the length for the segment AB. The coordinates of the endpoints are A(-3,2) B(0,6).

Calculating the distance:

`d=√((0+3)^2+(6-2)^2)`

`d=√(3^2+4^2)`

`d=√(9+16)`

`d=√(25)`

d = 5 units

The length for segment AB is 5 units
