On a number line, the coordinates of X, Y, Z, and Ware-B-3,2 and 8 respectively Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent XY and overline LW The length of overline x*gamma (Type an integer or a decimal) The length of overline ZW \le (Type an integer or a decimal)

1 answer

To find the length of segment XY, we subtract the x-coordinates of points X and Y:

Length of XY = |X - Y| = |3 - 2| = 1

To find the length of segment LW, we subtract the x-coordinates of points L and W:

Length of LW = |L - W| = |8 - (-3)| = |8 + 3| = 11

Therefore, the length of segment XY is 1 and the length of segment LW is 11.

Since 1 is not equal to 11, the two segments XY and LW are not congruent.
