Plz explain how you got the answer


On a coordinate grid, the coordinates of vertices P and Q for Polygon PQRS are P(1, 3) and Q(−3, 3). What is the length of Side PQ of the polygon?

2 units

3 units

4 units

6 units

Respuesta :

Looking at the coordinates of the points, we can see that PQ is 4 units.


Since both P and Q have the same y coordinate, we can now start to look at the x coordinate. Since they have the same y coordinate, that means that to find the length of the segment, we have to take the absolute value of the subtraction of the coordinates of the x value of each of the points. -3 - 1 is -4. The absolute value of -4 is 4, meaning that PQ is 4 units long.

Answer:

The answer would be.. 6 units.
