Question

The endpoints of DE are D(-4,11) and E(-4,-13). The endpoints of GH are G(-14,5) and H(-9,5). Are DE and GH congruent? Explain.

Answer 1

Congruent segments are segments with the same length. Does this help or do you need to know how to figure that out?

Answer 2

that helps thank you!

Answer 3

\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1)}{}^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]

Answer 4

yup

Answer 5

so DE and GH would not be congruent right?

Answer 6

Right
