Question

Line segment AB has endpoints A (-4, 4) and B (2, 4). What is the length of line segment AB?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the distance is sqrt ( (-6)^2 + (-12)^2) = sqrt( 36 + 144) = sqrt( 180) = sqrt(36*5) = 6 * sqrt(5)

2/(2+4) = 2/6 = 1/3

-2 + (1/3)*6*sqrt(5) = -2 + 2* sqrt(5)

6 + (1/3)*6*sqrt(5) = 6 + 2* sqrt(5)
