Question

Sierra has plotted two vertices of a rectangle at (3,2) and (8,2). What is the length of the sides of the rectangle

Answer 1

5units

Explanation:

Given the two vertices of a rectangle at (3,2) and (8,2). We are to calculate the distance between the two points.

Using the formula

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

D = √(2-2)²+(8-3)²

D = √0+5²

D = √25

D = 5

Hence the length of the side of the rectangle is 5units
