The length of the segment MN can be found using the distance formula. The distance formula is:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, x1 = 2, y1 = -3, x2 = 8, and y2 = 5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
d = √((8 - 2)^2 + (5 - (-3))^2)
Simplifying, we get:
d = √(36 + 64)
d = √100
d = 10
Therefore, the length of the segment MN is 10 units.
Find the length of the segment MN with endpoint M at ( 2, -3) and N at ( 8, 5 ). Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
Could somebody explain how to do this please?
