The coordinates for side BC in polygon ABCD are (2, 5) in (5, 5)what is the length of side BC

Three units

Five units

Seven units

10 units

1 answer

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

Distance = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates (2,5) and (5,5):

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

Therefore, the length of side BC is three units.
