Question

What is the length of segment GH? √48 units 8 units √80 units 12 units

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. √80 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of the line segment GH first find the coordinates of both the end points of the line G and H

Coordinates of G : (0, -3)

Coordinates of H : (8, 1)

Now, we can easily find the length of GH by using the distance formula :

$GH=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\\implies GH=\sqrt{(8-0)^2+(1+3)^2}\\\\\implies GH=\sqrt{64+16}\\\\\implies\bf GH=\sqrt{80}\textbf{ units}$

Therefore, The correct answer is C. √80 units.

Answer 2

The answer is C, using pythagorean theorem, square both 8 and 4, which is 80, which is the answer.
