Question

A rectangle is drawn on a coordinate plane. Three vertices of the rectangle are points M(8,7) , N(8,−4) , and P(−5,−4) . Point L is the fourth vertex of the rectangle. How long is the side of the rectangle connecting points L and P? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Your answer is 11 units

Step-by-step explanation: I took the quiz already

Answer 2

To find point L, it helps to draw it out (see the picture below)

We can then find the distance by using the distance formula:

d=√(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²

LP=√(-5 - -5)² + (7 - -4)²
LP=√0 + (11)²
LP=√121
LP=11
