A line segment has a total rise of 16 units and a total run of 12 units. What is the distance between the e points of the line segments?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "And I got :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope=16/12➡4/3
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is 4/3, but you're asked for the distance.
\n" ); document.write( "Rise and run (y and x) are perpendicular, so it's a right triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "\"hyp%5E2+=+12%5E2+%2B+16%5E2+=+400\"
\n" ); document.write( "hyp = 20 units\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
