Answer:

CD

Explanation:

For all sides except CD, you do not need the distance formula, since they are vertical or horizontal, meaning that you can find their length simply through subtraction. However, with side CD, since it is diagonal, you need to form a right triangle with to solve its length. Hope this helps!
