document.write( "A line segment has endpoints (4,7) and (1,11). What is the length of the segment?\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "A SOLUTION:\r\n" );
document.write( "Use the distance formula to find the length of the line segment. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"D=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substitute 4 for \"x%5B1%5D\", 7 for \"y%5B1%5D\", 1 for \"x%5B2%5D\", and 11 for \"y%5B2%5D\". Simplify.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"D=sqrt%28%281-4%29%5E2%2B%2811-7%29%5E2%29\"\r\n" );

document.write( "\"D=sqrt%289%2B16%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"D=sqrt%2825%29\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\"D=5\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The length of the line segment is 5 units.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hope this helps!\r\n" );
