Answer 1

8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The line is
`√(65)` units long.

Explanation:

You can find the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.

The line travels 8 units across and 1 down. These are the "sides" of the triangle, and we can treat the line given as the hypotenuse of the triangle.

`a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\1^2 + 8^2 = c^2\\\\1 + 64 = c^2\\\\c = √(65)`

The line is
`√(65)` units long.
