Question

2. Find the distance between -18 and 8
using the ruler postulate.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1 1-5 Measuring Segments Find the distance between two points using the Ruler Postulate Determine the length of a segment using the Segment Addition Postulate.

Answer 2

26.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the distance between -18 and 8 using the ruler postulate.

The ruler postulate states that the distance between two pints on a ruler is the absolute value of the difference between the numbers shown on ruler.

So the distance between -18 and 8 would be
`|-18-8|=|-26|=26`.

Therefore, the distance between -18 and 8 is 26.
