Q. 3333. A line segment has endpoints (7,3) (-7,3) and (19,6) (-19,-6) . What is the length of the segment?\newline(A) 37 3 \sqrt{7} units\newline(B) 317 3 \sqrt{17} units\newline(C) 1515 units\newline(D) 102 10 \sqrt{2} units
  1. Calculate Differences: Calculate the differences in the xx-coordinates and yy-coordinates of the endpoints.\newlineDifference in xx-coordinates: 7(19)=12-7 - (-19) = 12\newlineDifference in yy-coordinates: 3(6)=93 - (-6) = 9
  2. Use Distance Formula: Use the distance formula to find the length of the segment: (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}. Substitute the differences calculated: (12)2+(9)2=144+81=225\sqrt{(12)^2 + (9)^2} = \sqrt{144 + 81} = \sqrt{225}
  3. Simplify Square Root: Simplify the square root to find the final distance. 225=15\sqrt{225} = 15
