Question

What is the length of segment AB?

5 units

6 units

8 units

10 units

Answer 1

Any image?

Answer 2

I think its 5, tell me what you think it is

Answer 3

hmm what are the endpoints for AB anyway?

Answer 4

(6,2) and (0,10)

Answer 5

well, ok then \(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A({\color{red}{ 6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 2}})\quad
% (c,d)
&B({\color{red}{ 0}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 10}})
\end{array}\qquad
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)

Answer 6

I thought you use the formula\[a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}\]

Answer 7

yes, the pythagorean theorem is pretty much that, to find the distance between two spots
in the case of a rignt triangle, to find hypotenuse

Answer 8

did you get it?
