SOLUTION: I am having trouble figuring out the distance formula using three points:
a(0,0) b(3,y1) c(3,y2). Also how do you plug in the answers to an x,y,axis graph? Please help!

You need to apply the distance formula three times. Once to find the distance from a to b, once to find the distance from b to c, and once more to find the distance from c to a. Of course, with variables as two of your coordinates, you are going to have variables in your answer.
Here is the distance formula:
where and are the coordinates of the given points.
