wassup :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A line segment is drawn from (2, 7) to (5, 7) on a coordinate grid. Which answer explains one way that the length of this line segment can be determined? A. Subtract 5 – 2. B. Subtract 7 – 2. C. Add 5 + 2. D. Add 7 + 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be A. you want an explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me draw for the first time lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have more can u help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be 7 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why do you think it is 15?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i added i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i think i see what you did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finding a length of a line segment on a graph is pretty easy as long as it is vertical or horizontal all you have to do is just count each line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there are a total of 7 lines in the line segment understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is the answer 15 or ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it is 7

Mandy is planning to replace the old fence around her chicken coop with a new fence. What would be the best measurement to find the length of the new fence? A. the weight of the old fence B. the area of the chicken coup C. the perimeter of the old fence D. the area of the old fence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me explain it better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok nvm ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait lol u want me to or no lmao

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can expalin it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so when u look at the x axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what 2 numbers are the starting and ending points?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 8 look and see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two dots are the starting and ending points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u see where i got 1 and 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then you would just do 8 -1 and find that the length is 7 thats the easiest way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you wouldnt do 1 - 8 though cause then that would make a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok next question :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A line segment is drawn from (4, 1) to (4, 5) on a coordinate grid. Which answer explains one way that the length of this line segment can be determined? A. Subtract 5 – 1 B. Subtract 5 – 4 C. Add 5 + 1 D. Add 5 + 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do u think it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm .D U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its not D because i dont think you would ever add to find the length of a line segment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh c i dont know lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not c i get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is also adding lol ok you would need to subtract to find the length so that would leave you with A or B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it would be A because the x values are the same so you would subtract the y values which would be 5 - 1 which is 4 and thats your length:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will open a new tag k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k
