Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Find the length of the line segment between points P(8,5) and Q(4,3).

2

Step

Let us the given points (x1 , y1) & (x2 , y2)

(8 , 5) & (4 , 3)

3

Formula:

To find the length of the line segment between two points, you can use the distance formula

\$"d" = \sqrt ((x2-x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)\$

4

Step

Substitute the values into the distance formula

\$"d" = \sqrt ((4 - 8)^2 + (3 - 5)^2)\$

\$"d" = \sqrt ((-4)^2 + (-2)^2)\$

5

Step

Solve for d

\$"d" = \sqrt(16 + 4)\$

\$"d" = \sqrt (20)\$

6

Step

So, the length of the line segment between points (8, 5) and (4, 3) is \$\sqrt (20)\$.

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

8

Choice.A

It is correct because it accurately represents the length of the line segment between points P and Q

\$\sqrt 20\$

9

Choice.B

This is the incorrect answer. The distance we calculated is \$\sqrt(20)\$, \$\sqrt 2\$

\$\sqrt 2\$

10

Choice.C

This is the incorrect answer. The distance we calculated is \$\sqrt(20)\$, \$\sqrt 11\$

\$\sqrt 11\$

11

Choice.D

This is the incorrect answer. The distance we calculated is \$\sqrt(20)\$, \$\sqrt 12\$

\$\sqrt 12\$
