Find the distance between points B and C on the graph.

Answer 1

Answer: BC = 5.83

Explanation:

Luckily, the triangle is placed on the graph nicely so we can count the legs of the triangle:

AB = 5

AC = 3

BC = ?

To find BC, we can simply use the Pythagorean Theorem:

`a^(2)+b^(2)=c^(2)`

5^2 + 3^2 = c^2

25 + 9 = c^2

34 = c^2

Now square root to find c, or BC.

`√(34)=\sqrt{c^(2) }`

c = 5.83 (rounded by nearest hundredth)
