A right triangle was graphed on a coordinate plane using the coordinates (2, 4),

Question

(6, 4), and (6, 10). What is the length of the base of the triangle? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can use the distance formula.

The base of the triangle is the line segment between the points (2, 4) and (6, 4).

Let's calculate the length of this side:

Length = sqrt((6-2)^2 + (4-4)^2)
Length = sqrt(4^2 + 0)
Length = sqrt(16 + 0)
Length = sqrt(16)
Length = 4

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