Question

rectangle abcd is graphed in the coordinate plane. the following are the vertices of the rectangle: a(-7, -5), b(-7, 6), c(-4, 6), and d(-4, -5). given these coordinates, what is the length of side cd of this rectangle? units

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of C and D

C is \((-4, 6)\), D is \((-4, -5)\).

Step2: Use distance formula for vertical line

For vertical line (same x - coordinate), length is \(|y_2 - y_1|\). Here, \(y_1 = 6\), \(y_2=-5\).
Length \(=| - 5 - 6|=| - 11| = 11\).

Answer:

11
