Answer:
BC = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Of course, this geometry program can tell you the length of BC.
__
If you follow directions, you get a right triangle BCF that has leg lengths 3 and 4. The Pythagorean theorem then tells you the length of hypotenuse BC is ...
BF = 4 -1 = 3
FC = 4 -0 = 4
BC² = BF² +FC²
BC² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25
BC = √25
BC = 5
