Question

Find the length of the line segment from the origin to the point (3, 4)

Answer 1

The points are A = (0, 0) and B  = (3, 4)

Let A (x1, y1) = (0, 0) and B (x2, y2) = (3, 4)

Lenth of the Line Segment =    √ [(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Substitute  A (x1, y1) = (0, 0) and B (x2, y2) = (3, 4) in above equation

AB  =  √ [(3 - 0)^2 + (4 - 0)^2]

      =  √ [(3)^2 + (4)^2]

      =  √ (9 + 16)

      =  √ (25)

      =  5

Answer :

The Length of Line Segemnt is 5.
