How to find distance between two points?
Distance between two points is the length of the line segment that connects the two points in a plane.
The formula to find the distance between the two points is usually given by D = √((x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²)
This formula is used to find the distance between any two points on a coordinate plane or x-y plane.
According to the given question:
The four vertices are D(-1,-3), E(-9, -9), F(-18, 3) and G(-10, 9) check the attachment below.
Distance between two points D = √((x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²)
Side DE = √((-9 – (-1))² + (-9 – (-3))²) = √100 = 10 units
Side EF = √((-18 – (-9))² + (3 – (-9))²) = √225 = 15 units
Side FG = √((-10 – (-18))² + (9 – 3)²) = √100 = 10 units
Side GD = √((-1 – (-10))² + (-3 – 9)²) = √225 = 15 units
∴ Area of rectangle = l x b = DE . EF
Area = 10 x 15 = 150 sq. units
Hence the area of rectangle with the given coordinates is 150 sq. units
