while the length of bd is 3-(-6)=9

Answer 3

how do u do it though

Answer 4

Actually you can do it by dividing the line into little portions. Though a and b are in negative values but the distance between ac and bd is not, so you need to calculate it by using the one on the right to minus the one on left.
