Question

5. Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are vertices of the rectangle: A(-1,-6), B(-1,-7), C(1,7), and D(1,-6). Given these coordinates, what is the length of side AB in this triangle? On the lines below, provide the length of the side as well as your reasoning for how you arrived at your answer.​

Answer 1

The legnth of side AB would be 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would determine that both point A and point B would have the same y-coordinate of 1. Then you would determine the difference between the x values of points A and B. Since 5 (the x-value for B) minus 2 (the x-value for A) is 3, the legnth of side AB would be 3 units.
