To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can calculate the distance between the points (2,4) and (6,4) using the distance formula.
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Distance = √((6 - 2)^2 + (4 - 4)^2)
Distance = √(4^2 + 0)
Distance = √16
Distance = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 units.
