Question

the endpoints of ST are S (-3,2) and T (5,8) find the length of ST

how do i do this?

Answer 1

Use the distance formula to find the distance between S and T

Answer 2

well i tried doing that and i got =100 then the square root of 10 but i didnt know if it was right or wrong

Answer 3

Remember the distance formula is

\[\Large d = \sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^2+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^2}\]

Answer 4

ok let me check

Answer 5

yep I'm getting 10 as well, nice job

Answer 6

the distance between S and T is 10 units

so ST is a segment that is 10 units long

Answer 7

so its not supposed to be like cordinates? its just the square root of it? i was confused lol

Answer 8

well you plug the coordinates in to get sqrt(100) = 10

Answer 9

if that's what you're asking about

Answer 10

so the answer is just 10 segments?

Answer 11

10 units yes

Answer 12

oh okay thanks :)

Answer 13
