Question

use the right triangle abc to find the length of the line segment between point b and point c. now, find the length of the other leg. what is the length of the line segment between point a and point b? label the length on the coordinate plane. c (4,6) a (4, -3) b (8, -3)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A and B

Point A is (4, -3) and point B is (8, -3).

Step2: Calculate distance (since y-coordinates are equal)

The distance formula for horizontal line (same y) is $|x_2 - x_1|$. So, $|8 - 4| = 4$.

Answer:

4
