Question

Victor drew trapezoid PQRS on a coordinate plane p(7,4) q(10,4) r(13,-1) s(8,-1) what is length in units of side ps

Answer 1

26 units

Explanation:

Answer 2

PS=
`√(26)units`

Explanation:

Given : PQRS is a trapezoid on a coordinate plane P(7,4) Q(10,4) R(13,-1) S(8,-1).

To find:: Length of the side PS

Solution : Using the distance formula, we can find the length of the side PS, therefore

PS=
`\sqrt{(y_(2)-y_(1))^2+(x_(2)-x_(1))^2}`

PS=
`\sqrt{(-1-4)^(2)+(8-7)^2 }`

PS=
`√((-5)^2+(1)^2)`

PS=
`√(25+1)`

PS=
`√(26)units`

which is the required length of the side PS.
