the coordinates for side BC in polygon ABCD are (2,5) and (5,5). What is the length of side BC?

Answer 1

To find the length of side BC, we can use the distance formula:

Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Given points (2,5) and (5,5), we can plug in the values:

Distance = sqrt((5 - 2)^2 + (5 - 5)^2)
Distance = sqrt(3^2 + 0^2)
Distance = sqrt(9)
Distance = 3

Therefore, the length of side BC is 3.
