Question

the coordinates of point j are (5, 3). the coordinates of point c are (12, 3). determine the length of segment jc. enter the coordinates of the two given points and then calculate the dis them. coordinates $(x_1,y_1)$ of point j: (?,?) coordinates $(x_2,y_2)$ of point c: (?,?) $d = sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$ $d=sqrt{(quad)^2+(quad)^2}$ $d = quad$ the length of segment jc is $quad$ meters

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates

For point J, $(x_1,y_1)=(5,3)$; for point C, $(x_2,y_2)=(12,3)$.

Step2: Substitute into distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}=\sqrt{(12 - 5)^2+(3 - 3)^2}$

Step3: Calculate values inside square - root

$(12 - 5)^2=7^2 = 49$ and $(3 - 3)^2=0^2 = 0$, so $d=\sqrt{49+0}$.

Step4: Simplify square - root

$d=\sqrt{49}=7$.
