Math Problem Statement

What is the length of BC, given that figure ABCD is a rectangle?

Solution

The problem shows a rectangle ABCDABCD, with side lengths labeled:

  • AB=22AB = 22
  • AD=16AD = 16

In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal. Therefore:

  • The length of BCBC is the same as the length of ABAB, which is 22 units.

Thus, the correct answer is C. 22.
