Use the distance formula:
d = √((x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2)
where (x1,y1)=(3,2) and (x2,y2)=(-3,-6). Plug in the values and compute the answer.

Length of the segment = √((y2 - y1)2 + (x2 - x1)2)
Plug the values y1 = 2, y2 = -6, x1 = 3, x2 = -3
Length of segment = √((-6-2)2 + (-3-3)2) = √(64+81) = √145 = 12.04
