find length of a segment that has endpoint h(2,-3) and J(12,7)

1 answer

To find the length of a segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), we can use the distance formula:

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

In this case, the endpoints are h(2, -3) and J(12, 7). Plugging these values into the formula:

Distance = √[(12 - 2)^2 + (7 - (-3))^2]
= √[(10^2) + (10^2)]
= √[100 + 100]
= √200
≈ 14.142

Therefore, the length of the segment with endpoints h(2, -3) and J(12, 7) is approximately 14.142.
