What is the length of segment AB?
Square root of 13
Square root of 85
13
14

Answer 1

`√(85)`

Explanation:

Calculate the length using the distance formula

• d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(0, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(7, 0)

AB =
`√((7-0)^2+(0-6)^2)`

=
`√(7^2+(-6)^2)`

=
`√(49+36)` =
`√(85)`
