To find the length of side BC of polygon ABCD, you can use the distance formula or simply find the difference in the x-coordinates since both points have the same y-coordinate (5).

The coordinates for side BC are:
- Point B: (2, 5)
- Point C: (5, 5)

The length of side BC can be calculated as follows:

Length = x2 - x1 = 5 - 2 = 3 units.

Therefore, the answer is:

**A. 3 units**

Yes, I am sure that the calculation is correct.

To recap, the coordinates for points B and C are:

- Point B: (2, 5)
- Point C: (5, 5)

Since both points lie on the same horizontal line (both have the same y-coordinate of 5), the length of side BC can be calculated by finding the difference between the x-coordinates:

\[
\text{Length of BC} = x_2 - x_1 = 5 - 2 = 3 \text{ units}
\]

Thus, the length of side BC is indeed **3 units**, which corresponds to option **A.**
