The Endpoints of two segments are given. Find each segment length. Tell whether the segments are congruent.
EF: E(1,4), F(5,1)::::: d = sqrt[(4-1)^2+(5-1)^2] = sqrt[9 + 16] = 5
---------------------------
GH: G(-3,1), H(1,6)::: d = sqrt[(6-1)^2 + (1--3)^2] = sqrt[25+16] = sqrt(41)
---------------------------
