Example Question #5821 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the length of a line connecting the points (1,3) and (7,8).
To solve, simply use the distance formula. Thus,
It is important to remember that with the distance formula, you must keep the order of x2-x1 and y2-y1 consistent. It doesn't matter which point you choose to be 2 and which one you choose to be 1, but once you do, you must keep it in that order for both instances.
Example Question #5822 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
On a line segment, there are two points. One is at and the other is at
. What is the distance of the line segment?
When dealing with a number line, the distance of a point is measured in its distance from .
is a total of
points away from
.
is more straight forward and is just
points away.
To get the total distance you just add the two distances together
.
Example Question #11 : Lines
Find the length of the line shown below:
In order to find the length of the line, you have to find the difference between the points.
The first point is 4, and the second point is 21.
,
therefore the length of the line is units.
