Question

rectangle abcd is graphed in the coordinate plane. the following are the vertices of the rectangle: a(5,5), b(7,5), c(7,−1), and d(5,−1). given these coordinates, what is the length of side bc of this rectangle? rectangle icon units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of B and C

B is (7, 5), C is (7, -1).

Step2: Use distance formula for vertical line

Since x - coordinates are same (7), length is |y₂ - y₁|.
So, length = | -1 - 5 | = | -6 | = 6.

Answer:

6
