Take the time when you post your question to make sure you have posted it correctly.
The volunteers on this site prefer to spend their time helping students learn how to solve problems, rather than trying to figure out what the question is really supposed to be.
ANSWER. Exactly 2.
Solution
(1) Make a sketch.
(2) In the sketch, mark the point K on the line AB.
(3) Take a compass, make its wide equal to 4, and draw the circle with the center at K of the radius of 4.
(4) Since 4 > 3, you will get two intersection points of the circle with the line CD.
These points are those you are seeking for.
