Question

On a number​ line, the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W are-6 ​,-2 ​,4 ​, and ​8, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. XY and ZW what is the length of XY What is the length of ZW are they congruent

Answer 1

On a number​ line, the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W are -8, -5, 4 and 6 respectively.

We have to find the length of the segment

= -5 -(-8)

= -5+8

= 3

Now, we will find the length of the segment

= 6-4

= 2

Since, the measures of the segments ZW and XY are not equal.

Hence, these segments are not congruent.
