Question 548570: A triangle has vertices at coordinates (2,2), (5,6) and (6,2). What is the number of units in the length of the longest side of the triangle?

the distance formula between points is
so if we assign (2,2) as A, (5,6) as B and (6,2) as C the length of the sides is as follows AB=5, BC=4.1, and AC=4... so the longest side is AB.
