Segment AB has point A located at (6, 6). If the distance from A to B is 5 units, which of the following is the coordinate for point B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3, 2) (2, 5) (6, 7) (7, 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so distance formula is \[d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you could input each point answer to see which one results in d=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d=\sqrt{(6-5)^2+(6-2)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{(1)^2+(4)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{1+16}\] \[d=\sqrt{17}\] so no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets do C \[d=\sqrt{(6-7)^2+(6-6)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(0)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{1}\] d=1 so no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woah sorry for the 1st one \[d=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(6-3)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{(4)^2+(3)^2}\] \[d=\sqrt{16+9}\] \[d=\sqrt{25}\] d=5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but might as well check the others

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol your fine thank you so much it helped a lot (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so sorry
