Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The co-ordinates of the rectangle are:
A (8, 6)
B (-4, -10)
C (-8, -7)
D (4, 9)
The Area of Rectangle is Given by: <em>length x breadth </em>= AB x BC
Lengths of AB and BC can be found by distance formula
<em>length</em>(AB) = =
Similarly,
<em>length</em>(BC) = 5
Area of Rectangle = AB x BC = 20 x 5 = 100 square units
Answer:
20 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-intercepts are symmetrically located around the x-coordinate of the vertex, so are at
1.5 ± 5/2 = {-1, 4}
Using one of these we can find the unknown parameter "a" in the parabola's equation (in vertex form) ...
0 = a(4 -1.5)² +12.5
0 = 6.25a +12.5 . . . . . simplify
0 = a +2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6.25
-2 = a
Then the standard-form equation of the parabola is ...
y = -2(x -1.5)² +12.5 = -2(x² -3x +2.25) +12.5
y = -2x² +6x +8
This tells us the y-intercept is 8. Then the relevant triangle has a base of 5 units and a height of 8. Its area is given by the formula ...
A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(5)(8) = 20 . . . . units²
