To find the length of BD, we need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates of points B and D.
BD = |y-coordinate of B - y-coordinate of D|
BD = |6 - 1|
BD = 5
Therefore, the length of BD is 5 units.
The correct answer is: 5 cm
Use the image to answer the 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.
