    The length of the line segment whose end points are (3,-1) and (6, 5) is

    A)   3                                           

    B)  5

    C)  \[3\sqrt{5}\]                       

    D)        \[5\sqrt{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     We know that length of the line segment whose end point are \[({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\] and \[({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] is \[d=\sqrt{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})+{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}}\] Let \[(3,-1)=({{x}_{1}},{{y}_{1}})\]  and \[(6,5)=({{x}_{2}},{{y}_{2}})\] \[\therefore \]  \[d=\sqrt{({{y}_{2}}-{{y}_{1}})+{{({{x}_{2}}-{{x}_{1}})}^{2}}}\]                 \[=\sqrt{{{(6)}^{2}}+{{(3)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{36+9}\]                 \[=\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9\times 5}=3\sqrt{5}\] So, length of the line segment whose end point  are \[(3,-1)\] and \[(6,5)\] is \[3\sqrt{5}\].
