30 points!!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?

Answer:

The distance should be two units.

Explanation:

Looking at the correlation [after knowing it's a rectangle] between point(s) A and D, they both have opposite X's. And that tells me that B and C have to be opposite as well to match a rectangle.

Therefore, C should be 3,-2, since it's B's opposite Y.

Hopefully this makes sense and you get this question correct! :)
