The base of the right triangle is the line segment connecting the points (2, 4) and (6, 4).
Using the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Distance = √((6 - 2)^2 + (4 - 4)^2)
Distance = √(4^2 + 0)
Distance = √16
Distance = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 units.
A right triangle was graphed on a coordinate plane using the coordinates (2, 4) , (6, 4) , and (6, 10) . What is the length of the base of the triangle?(1 point)
