On a number line, the coordinates of X, Y, Z, and W are -8, -5, 4 and 6 respectively.
We have to find the length of the segment [tex] \overline {XY} [/tex]
[tex] \overline {XY} [/tex] = -5 -(-8)
= -5+8
= 3
Now, we will find the length of the segment [tex] \overline {ZW} [/tex]
[tex] \overline {ZW} [/tex] = 6-4
= 2
Since, the measures of the segments ZW and XY are not equal.
Hence, these segments are not congruent.
On a number line, the coordinates of X, Y, Z, and W are −7, −2, 2, and 7, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. XY and
