Q. A triangle has vertices on a coordinate grid at T(−10,1),U(9,1), and V(9,−4). What is the length, in units, of TU ?Answer: □ units
Identify Coordinates: Identify the coordinates of points T and U. Point T has coordinates (−10,1) and point U has coordinates (9,1).
Recognize Same Y-Coordinates: Recognize that the y-coordinates of points T and U are the same. Since the y-coordinates are the same, TU is a horizontal line segment.
Calculate Length: Calculate the length of bar(TU) using the difference in x-coordinates.Length of bar(TU) = x-coordinate of U - x-coordinate of TLength of bar(TU) = 9−(−10)Length of bar(TU) = x0Length of bar(TU) = x2 units
