you determined the length.
Enter your answer and your work or explanation in the space provided.

Answer 1

1.5 units

Explanation:

It was given that two of the vertices of square QRST are

Q(3.6.2.1) and R 5.1.2.1).

These are two consecutive vertices of one horizontal side of the square.

Using the absolute value method;

`|QR|=|5.1-3.6|=1.5`

A square has all sides equal.

Therefore each sides of the square is 1.5 units.
