Find the length of the segment containing the points (2,5) and (7,3)

Explanation:

Given coordinates;

      =   (2,5) and (7,3)

Unknown:

Length of the segment = ?

Solution:

To find the length between the segment which are the endpoints, we simply use the distance formula;

      D  =

Where x₁  = 2 ,  x₂ = 7 ,  y₁ = 5 and y₂ = 3

Insert the parameters and solve;

    D =

    D =

     D =
