The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem:
Distance = Square Root [(X2 - X1)^2<span> + (Y2 - Y1)^</span>2<span>]
</span>Distance = Square Root [(7 -1)^2 + (-7 -1)^2]
Distance = Square Root [ 6^2 + -8^2]Distance = Square Root [ 36 + 64 ]Distance = Square Root [100 ]Distance = 10

Area of rectangle = 15 x 8
=120
area of parallelogram = 8 x 15
=120
so, they have the same area, because the length of a rectangle is the same as the height of a parallelogram and also for the base.
If the ratio is 5:7 then the each part has a value of:
60/(5+7)=5 so from a total of 60
5:7 becomes 5*5:7*5 which is:
25:35
-3 + -3 = 0
-5 + 1 = -4
vector = < 0,-4 >
