Question

(05.05) On a coordinate plane the coordinates of vertices R and T for a polygon are R(-7, 3) and T(3,3). What is the length of Side RT of the polygon?

4 units

10 units
15 units
PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

c) 10 units

The length of side RT of the polygon RT = 10

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given the coordinates of vertices R and T

R( -7 ,3) and T (3 ,3)

we have to find the length of side RT

We will use distance formula

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

Step(ii):-

RT
`= \sqrt{(3-3)^(2) +(3-(-7))^(2) }`

`RT = \sqrt{0+(10)^(2) }`

RT = √100

RT = 10

The length of side RT of the polygon RT = 10
