A right triangle was graphed on a coordinate plane using the coordinates (2, 4) , (6, 4) , and (6, 10) . What is the length of the base of the triangle?(1 point)
___cm
The distance between the points (2, 4) and (6, 4) is the length of the base of the triangle.
Using the distance formula:
d = sqrt((6 - 2)^2 + (4 - 4)^2)
d = sqrt(4^2)
d = sqrt(16)
d = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of the triangle is 4 units.
