Question

A rectangle is drawn on a coordinate plane. Three vertices of the rectangle are points

A(−7,2)
B(3,2)
, and
D(−7,−2)
Point C is the fourth vertex of the rectangle.
What is the distance from point B to point C?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

The distance from B to C is the same as the distance from A to D. Points B and C will both have the same x-value, as do points A and D. Points B and C will have the same difference in y-values (2 -(-2) = 4) that points A and D have.

The distance from B to C is 4 units.
