Question

Someone please help me..

Answer 1

Given

• E = -17
• F = -10
• G = 1
• H = 8
• I = 14
• units in cm, all on a number line

Find

1. The length of FI
2. Two segments that are the same length

Solution

1. The distance from F to zero is 10. The distance from zero to I is 14. Those distances add to give the distance ...

... FI = 10 cm + 14 cm

... FI = 24 cm

2. The coordinates E and F differ by 7, as do the coordinates G and H. One pair of equal-length segments that are 7 cm long is {EF, GH}.

Segment FG can be added to each of those to make another pair of equal-length segments that are 18 cm long: {EG, FH}.
