What is the length of the segment with endpoints (-3, 4) and (5, 4)? A) 2 B) 8 C) 16 D) 64 E) 2 17

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Explanation:

The correct answer is 8. The distance formula is used here so you have

(-3 - 5)2 + (4 - 4)2

. This simplifies to

(8 2 + 02)

which is

(64)

which is 8.

Explanation:

`\sqrt{(4-4)^(2)+(5+3)^(2)   } \\\\\\\sqrt{8^(2) } \\\\8`
