Question

Find the length of a segment whose endpoints have coordinates of 52 and -38

Answer 1

The line of a segment is the same as the distance between two points

We are given the coordinates 52 and -38

(52, -38)

`\text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{x^2+y^2}`

From the given coordinates, let x = 52 and y = -38

`\begin{gathered} \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{52^2+(-38)^2} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{2704\text{ + 1444}} \\ \text{Distance = }\sqrt[]{4148} \\ \text{Distance = 64.40} \end{gathered}`

The answer is 64.40
