Question

Alma and Oliver both created this blue segment on the previous screen Alma used this expression to find the length: √(2² +3²) Oliver used this expression to find the length: ✓(3² +4²)Whose expression is correct? Alma Oliver Both Neither

Answer 1

Answer:

Alma

Explanation:

The endpoints of the line are (0,4) and (3,2) as shown below:

To find the length, we use the distance formula.

$\begin{gathered} Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(0-3)^2+(4-2)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{(-3)^2+(2)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{3^2+2^2} \end{gathered}$

We conclude that Alma is correct.
