Answer:

XZ is longer than XY

Explanation:

First we can notice all of the answers consist of knowing the lengths, so we must now find the lengths for each segment. To do this, we must use the pythagorean theorem.

(1, -1) and (-5, -5)

-5- -1 = -4

-5-1 = -6

-4^2+-6^2 = c^2

16+36 = c^2

52 = c^2

7.21110255 = c

So, the length of XZ is 7.21110255 units long

(1, -1) and (8, -2)

8-1 = 7

-2--1 = -1

7^2+-1^2 = c^2

49+1 = c^2

50 = c^2

7.07106781 = c

So, the length of XY is 7.07106781 units long.

XZ is longer than XY
