Compare the distance to a known length.
Measure.
If you know the coordinates of the two dots in an orthogonal coordinate system, use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance.
Say point 1 has coordinate (Ax,By) and point 2 has coordinate (Cx,Dy) then the distance between 1 and 2 is the square root of ((C-A)2 + (D-B)2))

How do you find midpoint of a segment?
Take a compass, extend it about 3/4 of the length of the segment. Then from one end of the segment, draw a 180 degree arc. From the other end draw another arc. Connect the points where the arcs intersect. Where the line intersects with the segment is the midpoint of the segment. That is how you bisect a segment to find the midpoint - geometrically.
What is the answer to find the length of the line segment joining 32 and 132?
|32 - 132| = |-100| = 100 |32 - 132| = |-100| = 100
