Find the distance of a segment with endpoints (12,3) and (-2,4)

Question

Endpoints (12,3) and (_2,4)

 

Answer 1

Hi Evany:

 

This is a plug into the distance formula.

distance between two points (x₁, y₁), (x₂,y₂) is:

d = √[(x₂-x₁)2+(y₂-y₁)²]

 

for (12, 3), (-2, 4)

d = √[(12-(-2))²+(3-4)²] = √(14² + 1) = √197 ≅ 14.036
