Question

This set of points are connected to form a line segment. What is its length? A = (3,5) and B = (3,6) *

Answer 1

1

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:
`√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

Answer 2

d(A,B)=1

Explanation:

To find distance between points A(xA,yA) and B(xB,yB), we use formula:

d(A,B)=(xB−xA)2+(yB−yA)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

In this example: xA=3 , yA=5 , xB=3 and yB=6 so:

d(A,B)d(A,B)d(A,B)=(3−3)2+(6−5)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=0+1−−−−√=1
