find AB. round your answer to two decimal places

Question

A(-3,-3) and B(3,-2)

Answer 1

(-3,3) to (3,-2) is a distance of

d = square root of (6^2 + 5^2) = sqr(36+25) = sqr61 = about 7.81

it might help to plot the points and connect them with a stright line segment,

and construct a right triangle with the line segment as the hypotenuse,

then apply the Pythagorean Theorem. base of the triangle = difference in x coordinates = 3--3 = 3+3 =6

height of the right triangle = 3 --2 = 3+2 =5.

hypotenuse squared = sum of squares of the base and height = d^2 = 5^2 +6^2 = 25+36 = 61

d = sqr61
