Answer:

The length of the side BC is 6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Between two Points in the Plane

Given two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2), the distance between them is:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

We need to calculate the distance between B(7,5) and C(7,-1):

[tex]d=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(5+1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]d=\sqrt{36}[/tex]

d=6

The length of the side BC is 6 units
