Question

rectangle has vertices at (Negative3, 2), (7, 2), (7, Negative 5), and (Negative 3, Negative 5). Jordan says the area of the rectangle is 70 square units. Steps Jordan’s Work Step 1 Base: StartAbsoluteValue negative 3 EndAbsoluteValue + StartAbsoluteValue 75 EndAbsoluteValue = 10 Step 2 Height: StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue + StartAbsoluteValue 2 EndAbsoluteValue = 7 Step 3 Area: 10 times 7 = 70 square units Which is true of Jordan’s solution? Jordan is not correct because he did not find the absolute value before multiplying the dimensions. Jordan is not correct because he did not add correctly before multiplying the dimensions. Jordan correctly found the area of the rectangle by adding the base and the height. Jordan correctly found the area of the rectangle by multiplying the base and the height.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jordan correctly found the area of the rectangle by multiplying the base and the height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Jordan correctly found the area of the rectangle by multiplying the base and the height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the vertices to better understand the problem

Let

$A(-3,2),B(7,2),C(7,-5),D(-3,-5)$

see the attached figure

we know that

The area of rectangle is equal to

$A=bh$

we have

$b=AB\\h=BC$

step 1

Find the base of rectangle

$b=\left|7-\left(-3\right)\right|=10\ units$

step 2

Find the height of rectangle

$h=\left|2-\left(-5\right)\right|=7\ units$

step 3

Find the area

$A=bh$

substitute the values

$A=(10)(7)=70\ units^2$

therefore

Jordan correctly found the area of the rectangle by multiplying the base and the height.
