When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.

The definition for length of segment is the distance between the endpoints of s segment
It is the distance between the end points

Add the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
This is the length of the segment.
The definition for length of segment is the distance between the endpoints of s segment
Subtract the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the y-value would be zero, and the distance the square root of its own square.
It is the distance between the end points
The bisector of a segment is a line that cuts the segment into exact half. For example, if the vertical line bisects the horizontal line in " T ", the vertical line cuts touches the horizontal line at the midpoint of the horizontal line
