What is the length of segment RS
What is the length of segment RS
I see that it's length is 12 boxes (im learning the same thing right now)
Answer: 13 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given graph , the coordinates of point R = (-4,-3)
The coordinates of S = (1,9)
The distance formula to calculate distance between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-
\(d=\sqrt{(d-b)^2+(c-a)^2}\)
Now, the distance between (-4,-3) and (1,9) is given by :-
\(d=\sqrt{(9-(-3))^2+(1-(-4))^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=\sqrt{(12)^2+(5)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow\ d=\sqrt{169}=13\text{ units}\)
Hence, the length of line segment RS\(=13\text{ units}\)
