The distance formulae can be applied in coordinate geometry when trying to identify the length of a side when given two points.

The formula is:

The distance formula can be used to identify the length of a side of a polygon on a coordinate plane. it's formula is:

The distance formula can be used to identify the length of a side of a polygon on a coordinate plane. it's formula is:

Lets look at an example:

A(-1,5) . B((3,3) C(6,-4) D (2,-2) . Find the length of side AD.

Lets look at an example: A(-1,5) . B((3,3) C(6,-4) D (2,-2) . Find the length of side AD.

Lets apply the distance formula from before:

Lets apply the distance formula from before:

Lets apply the distance formula from before:

So therefore, the length of AD = 7.6

Question: Find the Length of DC
