Question

using the figure below, find the area of the rectangle on the coordinate - plane. what is the area of the rectangle in this figure? round to the tenths place.

Explanation:

Step1: Find length of one - side

Use distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Assume two adjacent vertices of rectangle.

Step2: Find length of adjacent side

Repeat distance - formula for another pair of adjacent vertices.

Step3: Calculate area

Multiply the two side - lengths found.

Answer:

Insufficient vertex coordinates given to calculate.
