A triangle has vertices on a coordinate grid at V(9,5)V(9,5), W(-10,5)W(−10,5), and X(-10,-5).X(−10,−5). What is the length, in units, of \overline{VW} VW ?

Respuesta :

The length in units of the segment VW is 19 units.

What is the length, in units, of VW?

Remember that for two points (a, b) and (c, d), the distance in units is:

D = √( (a - c)^2 + (b - d)^2)

Here we want to find the distance between the points V and W, which would be the length of the segment VW.

The coordinates of these points are:

V (9, 5)

W (-10, 5)

Using the distance formula, we get:

D =  √( (9 + 10)^2 + (5 + 5)^2) = 19

We conclude that the length in units of the segment VW is 19 units.
