What is the length of each side of the rectangle?

Answer:
AB =7 and CD = 7
BC =4 and AD =4
Step-by-step explanation:
A( 1,3)
B (1,10)
C (5,10)
D (5,3)
As we can see in the graph, the AB = CD and BC = AD
AB = the distance between the y points since the x values are the same
AB = 10-3 = 7
AB =7 and CD = 7
BC = the distance between the x points since the y values are the same
BC = 5-1 =4
BC =4 and AD =4

In each graph, they give you a line.
For part A, they want you to use the <u>Distance Formula</u> which is:
(x2 is supposed to be x sub 2, but I can't put subheadings in the equation tool)
x1, x2, y1, and y2 are the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment.
For part B, they want you to use the <u>Midpoint Formula</u>, which is:
The coordinate pair you get from the Midpoint Formula is your midpoint.
Hope this helps! :)
