Question

use the right triangle abc to find the length of the line segment between point a and point b. you can think of the distance between point a and point b as the length of a hypotenuse of a right triangle. start by finding the length of the legs of this right triangle. what is the length of the line segment between point a and point c? label the length on the coordinate plane. point a (7, 3), point b (-2, -4), point c (7, -4)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A and C

Point A is (7, 3), point C is (7, -4).

Step2: Calculate vertical distance

Since x - coordinates are same, distance is |3 - (-4)| = |7| = 7.

Answer:

7
