Question

On a coordinate grid the coordinates of vertices p and q for polygon pars are p(5,4) and q(-2,4) what is the length of side pq?

Answer 1

Answer:

pq = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the length using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = p(5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = q(- 2, 4)

pq = $\sqrt{(-2-5)^2+(4-4)^2}$

     = $\sqrt{(-7)^2+0^2}$

     = $\sqrt{49}$

     = 7
