Question

What is the length of Line segment B C? (Line segment B coordinate is (-2,-3), and Line segment C is (0,2)

- 3 units

- 4 units

- 5 units

- 6 units

Answer 1

well, first tell me what are your thoughts on this

Answer 2

Well, from what I've been learning is that I have to match the coordinates on a graph, draw a line to connect them, and then if the line is diagonal I have to make a right triangle with it, and then try to figure out what each side of the triangle measures.

Answer 3

correct. it is measured in units. where did it become difficult?

Answer 4

I don't have my notes with me, and i forgot the equation I need to go by in order to find the answer.

Answer 5

c^2 is the longest line in a triangle

Answer 6

Oh! Thank you. So I guess I have to find the whole numbers for each coordinate, match them on the legs of the triangle and put them on the equation for solving?

Answer 7

yes, and i will stay to check your work

Answer 8

Okay. Hold on

Answer 9

I think the shortest leg is 2 units, but I'm having trouble figure out what the longest other leg measures.

Answer 10

alright, what is the y of the first point, point b?

Answer 11

y= -3

Answer 12

what about the y of point C?

Answer 13

y=2

Answer 14

A: the line would be -1 units long
B: the line would be 5 units long

Answer 15

I'm pretty sure its B

Answer 16

maybe, but maybe not. first thing's first, test -1^2 + 2^2

Answer 17

what would the answer be?

Answer 18

-1^2+2^2=-1+4

Answer 19

I'm not quite sure the other part, but my for sure guess is 3

Answer 20

im sorry for late news, yet i made a mistake in the formula.

it is a^2 * b^2 = c^2

Answer 21

not much of a difference

Answer 22

oh that's alright. Am I still good though?

Answer 23

it would be -1*4

Answer 24

yes, you are fine

Answer 25

that would mean -4

Answer 26

also known as answer B

Answer 27

just to make sure, lets check 5^2*2^2

Answer 28

25*4=100

Answer 29

so the answer is B

Answer 30

Okay,

Answer 31

to triple-check, i have a software

Answer 32

i will check the triangle's lengthe of line BC

Answer 33

M'kay

Answer 34

i didnt use it first because i would help you much

Answer 35

That's alright

Answer 36

its about -5. hmmm

Answer 37

Well, I'm aloud to round.

Answer 38

that changes this entirely

Answer 39

It could be C or B

Answer 40

More likely C

Answer 41

Earlier for some reason i was so sure it was C actually.

Answer 42

So you were correct from the start

Answer 43

Oh, really? Well then, I guess I'm smarter than I thought I was. lol

Answer 44

Never underestimate the mind, but you will always overestimate your eves

Answer 45

They fool you all the time
