Algebra.Com's Answer #627401 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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( " \n" ); document.write( "hyp = 20 units\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
