Question

Rectangle A B C D, is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(-7, -5), B(-7, 6),C(-4, 6), and D(-4, -5). Given these coordinates, what is the length of side CD of this rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

11 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinate of C is (-4,6) and the coordinate of D is (-4,-5) to find the length you subtract D from C:

x = -4 - -4 = 0

y = 6 - -5 = 11 units

Because the side is parallel to the x-axis you only take the magnitude of y.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathbb{\underline{SOLUTION:-}}$

• The coordinate of C is (-4,6) and the coordinate of D is (-4,-5) to find the length you subtract D from C:
• x = -4 - -4 = 0
• y = 6 - -5 = 11 units
• Because the side is parallel to the x-axis you only take the magnitude of y.
