Question

Square PQRS has vertices at P(-2, 4), Q(-2, -1), R(3,-1), and S(3,4). What is the length of side PS?

Answer 1

The length of side PS is just the distance from point P to point S.

Point P (-2, 4)

Point S (3, 4)

So the length is the distance from -2 to 3, since the y coordinate is the same for both. The distance from -2 to 3 is 5 units.

So, PS is 5 units long.

Let me know if this helps!
