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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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.
