what is the ruler postulate?
the distance between two points can be determined by the
of the real number values of the two points.
options:
the absolute value of the sum
the absolute value of the difference
the sum
the difference
The ruler postulate states that the distance between two points on a number line is found by taking the absolute value of the difference of their corresponding real number coordinates. This ensures the distance is a non-negative value, which is required for a valid distance measurement.
