Because the two vertices have the same x-coordinate, the side is a vertical line. It starts vertically from -18 to 18
the length = 18 - (-18)
the length = 18 + 18
the length = 36
The length of the side is 36 unit
2a + 3b = 6 --> Equation 1
5a + 2b = 4 --> Equation 2
Equation 1 * 5 --> 10a + 15b = 30
Equation 2 * 2 --> 10a + 4b = 8
Equation 1 - Equation 2 --> 11b = 22 --> b = 2
Sub b=2 in Equation 1 (or 2, either works):
2a + 3b = 6
2a + 3(2) = 6
2a + 6 = 6
2a = 0
a = 0
b = 2, a = 0

No If it was 4 to 3 then yes but 4 can't be multiplied by anything to equal 9
They are equal because if you divide 4÷1.0 your answer would be 0.4
