Answer:

The length in units of the line segment with endpoints at (1, 4) and (3, 7) is √13 units

Explanation:

To find the length of the line segment, we will follow the steps below;

first, write down the distance formula

Let A=(1,4) and B=(3,7)

AB = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

From the question given, the point given are (1,4) and (3,7), this implies that

x₁ =1 y₁ =4 x₂ =3 y₂=7

Lets insert the values into the formula;

AB = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

AB = √(3-1)² + (7-4)²

=√2² + 3²

=√4 + 9

=√13 units

The length in units of the line segment with endpoints at (1, 4) and (3, 7) is √13 units
