What is the length of the diagonal from vertex J to vertex L in the quadrilateral below A 12 units B 273 C732 D 146 class=

Respuesta :

Given:

The coordinates of the vertex J is (-6,3) and the coordinates of the vertex L is (5,-2)

We need to determine the length of the diagonal from vertex J to vertex L.

Length of the diagonal:

The length of the diagonal can be determined using the formula,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Substituting the coordinates (-6,3) and (5,-2) in the above formula, we get;

[tex]d=\sqrt{(5+6)^2+(-2-3)^2[/tex]

Simplifying, we get;

[tex]d=\sqrt{(11)^2+(-5)^2[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{121+25}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{146}[/tex]

Thus, the length of the diagonal from vertex J to vertex L is √146 units.

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.

I think it will help you....
