Question

Triangle PQR is a right triangle. The triangle has vertices P(-2,4), Q(3,4) and R(-2,-2) What is the length of segment PQ?

Answer 1

Length of segment PQ = 5

Explanation:

Coordinates of P (-2, 4) and coordinates of Q are (3,4)

y coordinates are the same so the segment PQ is a horizontal line

The length is simply the difference between the x coordinates = 3 -(-2) = 3 + 2 = 5
