Look at the triangle ABC. What is the length of the side AB of the triangle? A.) 3 B.) 5 C.) Square root of 6 D.) Square root of 13

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of AB we use the formula
[tex] \sqrt{ ({x _{1} - x_{2}})^{2} + ({y_{1} - y_{2} })^{2} } [/tex]
Where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question
A is (4 , 5) B is (2 , 2)
So the length of AB is
[tex] |AB| = \sqrt{ ({4 - 2})^{2} + ({5 - 2})^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] |AB| = \sqrt{ {2}^{2} + {3}^{2} } [/tex]
[tex] |AB| = \sqrt{4 + 9} [/tex]
We have the final answer as
[tex] |AB| = \sqrt{13} [/tex]
Hope this helps you
Answer:
sqrt(13) = c
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of BC = 4-2 =2
The length of AC = 5-2 =3
We can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2^2 + 3^2 = c^2
4+9 = c^2
13 =c^2
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(13) = c
