Question

2. Find the length of segment JK with endpoints J(4,8) and K(-1,-2). Leave answer as a

radical. Simplify if necessary.

Answer 1

Distance of JK = 15 unit

Explanation:

Given:

J(4,8)

K(-1,-2)

Find:

Distance of JK

Computation:

Distance = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

Distance of JK = √(-1-4)² + (-2-8)²

Distance of JK = √25 + 100

Distance of JK = √125

Distance of JK = 15 unit
