What is the length of segment AB ?


Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{74}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between two points
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{let}\:(x_1,y_1)=(2,-6)[/tex]
[tex]\textsf{let}\:(x_2,y_2)=(7,1)[/tex]
[tex]d=\textsf{length of segment AB}[/tex]
Substituting points into the distance formula and solving for d:
[tex]\implies d=\sqrt{(7-2)^2+(1-(-6))^2}[/tex]
[tex]\implies d=\sqrt{5^2+7^2}[/tex]
[tex]\implies d=\sqrt{25+49}[/tex]
[tex]\implies d=\sqrt{74}[/tex]
