Math Problem Statement

Длина вектора, соединяющего точки A(2, 3) и B(10, -3), равна ...

Solution

The text in the image reads:

"Длина вектора, соединяющего точки A(2,3)A(2, 3) и B(10,3)B(10, -3), равна ..."

This translates to:

"The length of the vector connecting points A(2,3)A(2, 3) and B(10,3)B(10, -3) is equal to ..."

To find the length of the vector, we use the distance formula:

Length=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\text{Length} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Points:

    • A(2,3)A(2, 3): x1=2,y1=3x_1 = 2, y_1 = 3
    • B(10,3)B(10, -3): x2=10,y2=3x_2 = 10, y_2 = -3
  2. Substitute into the formula: Length=(102)2+(33)2\text{Length} = \sqrt{(10 - 2)^2 + (-3 - 3)^2}

  3. Simplify the differences: Length=(8)2+(6)2\text{Length} = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (-6)^2}

  4. Square the differences: Length=64+36\text{Length} = \sqrt{64 + 36}

  5. Add: Length=100\text{Length} = \sqrt{100}

  6. Simplify: Length=10\text{Length} = 10

Final Answer:

The length of the vector is 10.
