Answer:

  • MP = NQ = 5 units

=====================

Given points

  • M = (3, 2), N = (3, -1), P = (7, - 1), Q = (7, 2)

Use distance formula

The distance between points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is:


  • d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Apply this to segments MP and NQ


  • MP=√((7-3)^2+(-1-2)^2)=√(4^2+(-3)^2)=√(16+9) =√(25)=5

  • NQ=√((7-3)^2+(2-(-1))^2)=√(4^2+3^2)=√(16+9) =√(25)=5

So we have both segments with same length of 5 units
