Question

An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 8 to 8 in increments of 1. A quadrilateral upper A upper B upper D upper C is drawn on the coordinate plane. The coordinates of the quadrilateral are as follows: upper A left parenthesis negative 7 comma 7 right parenthesis, upper B left parenthesis negative 3 comma 6 right parenthesis, upper D left parenthesis negative 3 comma 1 right parenthesis, and upper C left parenthesis negative 7 comma 1 right parenthesis.

Find the length BD¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ in the polygon on the coordinate plane.

Answer 1

To find the length of line BD, we need to calculate the horizontal distance between points B and D.

Point B has coordinates (-3, 6) while point D has coordinates (-3, 1). The difference in the y-coordinates is 6 - 1 = 5.

Therefore, the length BD is 5 units.

So, the correct answer is:

5 cm

Answer 2

is this the right answer ?

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The correct answer should be:

5 cm.

Thank you for pointing out the error.
