I don't see the graph or the coordinates, so I can't tell which side is slanted. Please either upload the graph or give the coordinates of A, B, C, and D.
Tip to decide yourself: the distance formula is needed for the side whose endpoints have both x- and y-coordinates different (i.e., not purely horizontal or vertical). If the endpoints share the same x (vertical) or the same y (horizontal), the length is just the absolute difference of that coordinate. Otherwise use
distance = sqrt[(x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2].
