QuestionCalculate the length of the segment between (2,2) and (5,-3) using the formula: .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The coordinates of the first endpoint are (,)
. The coordinates of the second endpoint are (5,-3)
3. We are using the Euclidean distance formula to calculate the length of the segment
STEP 2
The Euclidean distance formula is given bywhere (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the coordinates into the distance formula.
STEP 4
Calculate the differences inside the square roots.
STEP 5
Square the differences.
STEP 6
Add the squared differences.
The length of the segment with endpoints at coordinates (2,2) and (5,-3) is units.
