Submit
16. How long will a line from 1,4 to 4,4 be?

Explanation

The length of a line can be calculated using the distance formula, which states that the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is equal to the square root of the difference in x-coordinates squared plus the difference in y-coordinates squared. In this case, the x-coordinates are 1 and 4, and the y-coordinates are both 4. Plugging these values into the formula, we get the square root of (4-1)^2 + (4-4)^2, which simplifies to the square root of 9, or 3. Therefore, the length of the line from (1,4) to (4,4) is three units.
