Question

Find the length of the segment connecting the two given points. Write your final answer in simplest form. *Round your answer to the nearest thousandth place if necessary.




(5,-3) and (8,-2)




d = ?

Answer 1

The length of the segment joining the points which are given is  $\sqrt{10}$

To measure the distance between these two given points

The given coordinates are

Let P = P(5,-3) and Q = Q(8,-2)

By using the distance formula we get;

the distance formula is used to calculate the length of the segment when points are given as in this question

thus the distance formula is :

$\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

here x2 = 8 and x1 = 5

and y2 = - 2 and y1 = - 3

thus on substituting the values we get

$\sqrt{(8-5)^2 + ( -2 +3)^2}$

= $\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2}$

= $\sqrt{10}$

Thus the length of the segment is  $\sqrt{10}$ units
