QuestionCalculate the length of the segment between (2,2) and (5,-3) using the formula: d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The coordinates of the first endpoint are (,) . The coordinates of the second endpoint are (5,-3)
3. We are using the Euclidean distance formula to calculate the length of the segment

STEP 2

The Euclidean distance formula is given byDistance=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2Distance = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints.

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the coordinates into the distance formula.
Distance=(52)2+(32)2Distance = \sqrt{(5 -2)^2 + (-3 -2)^2}

STEP 4

Calculate the differences inside the square roots.
Distance=(3)2+()2Distance = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (-)^2}

STEP 5

Square the differences.
Distance=9+25Distance = \sqrt{9 +25}

STEP 6

Add the squared differences.
Distance=34Distance = \sqrt{34}The length of the segment with endpoints at coordinates (2,2) and (5,-3) is 34\sqrt{34} units.
