Plug in our given numbers to solve:

Example Question #1355 : High School Math

The points A, B, and C reside on a line segment. B is the midpoint of AC. If line AB measures 6 units in length, what is the length of line AC?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AC is twice as long as AB. We are told that AB=6.

The diagram shows six units between points A and B, with B as the midpoint of segment AC. Therefore segment BC is also six units long, so line AC is twelve units long.

Example Question #1356 : High School Math

What is the length of a line segment with end points  and ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the length of line is the distance formula, which is very similar to the Pythagorean theorem.

Plug in the given values and solve for the length.

 

Example Question #1357 : High School Math

What would be the length of a line with endpoints at  and ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the length of line is the distance formula, which is very similar to the Pythagorean theorem.

Plug in the given values and solve for the length.
