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)

Answer 1

The length of the base of the triangle can be found by calculating the distance between the points (2, 4) and (6, 4) on the x-axis.

Using the distance formula, we have:

d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = √((6 - 2)^2 + (4 - 4)^2)
d = √(4^2)
d = √16
d = 4

Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 units.
