What is the length of segment GH?

Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance GH use the distance formula
GH = √ ( x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = G(0, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = H(8, 1)
GH = [tex]\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(1+3)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{64+16}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex] units
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the length of segment GH.
Since coordinates of G and H are G(0, 3) and H(8, 1)
Now we know if coordinates of the end points of a line segment have been given then length of the segment will be
[tex]\sqrt{(x-x')^{2}+(y-y')^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{(8-0)^{2}+(1+3)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{64+16}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex] units
Option c [tex]\sqrt{80}[/tex] units is the answer.
