Answer:

The length of side XY is
$√(26)\ units$

Explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}$

we have that the coordinates of points X and Y are

X(4,2) and Y(3,-3)

substitute the given values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-3-2)^(2)+(3-4)^(2)}$

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^(2)+(-1)^(2)}$

$d=√(26)\ units$

therefore

The length of side XY is
$√(26)\ units$
