Find the length of the segment with endpoints at (2, 7) and (8, -1). using the formula below.

Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let (2, 7) = [tex](x_{1} ,y_{1} )[/tex] and (8, -1) = [tex](x_{2} ,y_{2} )[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(8-2)^{2} + (-1 -7)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{6^2 +(-8^2)}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{36 + 64}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex]
= 10
