the endpoints of four segments are given below. Which segment has the greatest length?

A) a(2,2 and b (2,-4)
B) d (-3,-1 and e (2,-1)
C) m (-1,4 and n (-1, _ 2)
D) p(-5,-3) and q (2,-3)

Answer 1

Line segment AB is 4 units
Line segment CD is $\sqrt{5^{2}*2^{2} } = \sqrt{29}$
Line segment MN is 6 units
Line segment PQ is 7 units

The line segment of greatest length is PQ
