<u>Answer:</u> Carbon-carbon double bond is stronger and shorter than the single bond.
<u>Explanation:</u>
It is given that carbon-carbon double bond has greater energy than the carbon-carbon single bond.
Bond energy is directly proportional to the bond strength, which means that the double bond will have greater strength than single bond and triple bond has the greatest strength of all the bonds.
Bond energy is inversely proportional to the bond length of the carbon-carbon bond. This means that more is the bond energy, shorter will be the bond and vice-versa.
Hence, carbon-carbon double bond is stronger and shorter than the single bond.

You forgot to put the picture to do so. In this case, I manage to find one, and I hope is the one you are looking for. If not, then post it again and I'll gladly help you out again.
According to the picture with the answer, we have a cyclohexane with 4 methyl groups there. Two of them are facing towards the molecule with a darker bond. This means that the alkyl bromide, should have a bromine in one of the bonds, and in order to produce an E2 reaction, this bromine should be facing in the opposite direction of the methyl groups which are facing towards. This is because an E2 reaction occurs with the less steric hindrance in the molecule. If the bromine is in the same direction as the methyl group, it will cause a lot more of work to do a reaction, and therefore, an E2 reaction. I will promote instead a E1 or a sustitution product.
Therefore the alkyl bromide should be like the one in the picture 2.
