Question

On rectangle defg, d is located at -1,-1 , F is located at 4,-8 what is length of ge

Answer 1

`ge= √(74)`

Explanation:

Given

`d = (-1,-1)`

`f =(4,-8)`

Required

Length of ge

The length of ge is the same as the length of df. So, we start by calculating distance gf

`D = √((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)`

This gives:

`D = √((-1-4)^2+(-1+8)^2)`

`D = √((-5)^2+7^2)`

`D = √(74)`

This implies that:

`df = √(74)`

`ge= √(74)`
