Math Problem Statement
How to find EF on a line segment with number 2.6 and 3.5
Solution
To find the length of the line segment when you have two points on a number line, such as and , you simply find the absolute difference between these two points.
Step-by-Step Solution
-
Identify the coordinates of points and :
- Point has a coordinate of .
- Point has a coordinate of .
-
Apply the formula for the length of a segment on a number line: The length of a segment on a number line is given by the absolute difference between the coordinates of and :
-
Substitute the values:
-
Calculate the difference:
Conclusion
The measure of segment is units.
