SOLUTION: A sequence of diagonal lines is drawn from points (1,0),(2,0),(3,0),(4,0),...(10,0) on the x-axis to corresponding points (0,1),(0,2),(0,3),(0,4),...(0,10) on the y-axis. What is t

Question 74067: A sequence of diagonal lines is drawn from points (1,0),(2,0),(3,0),(4,0),...(10,0) on the x-axis to corresponding points (0,1),(0,2),(0,3),(0,4),...(0,10) on the y-axis. What is the total length of those lines?

Plot the points.
Draw the lines joining corresponding points.
Use Pythagoras to get the distances; add them
Ex:
From (1,0) to (0,1)
d = sqrt(1^2 + 1^2) = sqrt2
From (2,0) to (0,2)
d = sqrt(2^2 + 2^2) = 2sqrt2
etc.
