Answer:

  AB = CD = √17

Explanation:

The distance formula is used to find the length of a line segment between two points. Here, we want to show the distance AB is the same as the distance CD.

  d = √((x1 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

__

AB: d = √((1 -2)² +(3 -(-1))²) = √((-1)² +4²) = √17

CD: d = √((7-6)² +(1-5)²) = √(1² +(-4)²) = √17 . . . . same as AB

Segment AB is congruent to segment CD.
