Question

A line segment's measurement(s) include which of the following?

Check all that apply.
A. None of these
B. Width
C. Height
D. Length

Answer 1

D. Length

Explanation:

We measure the length of a line segment, and thus, the correct answer is given by option D.

The length of a line segment is the distance between it's endpoints, using the formula for the distance between two points given below.

Distance between two points:

Suppose that we have two points,
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`. The distance between them is given by:

`D = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`
