Question

John drew a trapezoid ABCD on a coordinate plane. The coordinates are as follows

A(8,4)
B(10,4)
C(13,-1)
D(8,-1)
What is the length of the side AD?

Answer 1

The answer is 5 units because if you have a graph you can count from (8,4) to (8,-1) and it equals 5

Answer 2

Answer: 5

Explanation:

If the sides of A is (8,4) and the coordinates of D is (8-1), the same value in both coordinates are 8 and the different values are 4 (A) and -1 (D). We will take the absolute values (AV) of both when added: |4 + -1|.

The answer will be 5 grids (or whatever measurements the question uses).
