If a segment has endpoints and , how long will the segment be after it is rotated

clockwise? (1 point)
(0, 4) (3, 4)

1 answer

To find the length of the segment with endpoints (0, 4) and (3, 4), we first determine its length using the distance formula:

The distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by:

\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

For the points \((0, 4)\) and \((3, 4)\):

  • \(x_1 = 0\), \(y_1 = 4\)
  • \(x_2 = 3\), \(y_2 = 4\)

Plugging in the values:

\[ d = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (4 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (0)^2} = \sqrt{9} = 3 \]

Now, regarding the second part of your question about the length after the segment is rotated clockwise:

The length of the segment remains the same regardless of how it is rotated. Rotating a line segment moves its endpoints, but does not change the distance between them.

Therefore, after the segment is rotated clockwise, the length of the segment will still be:

\[ \text{Length} = 3 \]

The length of the segment remains 3 units even after rotation.
