Question

A rectangular plot of land has vertices located at (2, 8),

Answer 1

Melissa's solution is correct.

Explanation:

A(2, 8),  B(2, 2), C(–4, 2), and D(–4, 8)

Length of AB = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

                        $=\sqrt{(2-8)^2+(2-2)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{36} \\\\= 6$

Length of BC = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

                     = $=\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2-2)^2} \\\\=\sqrt{36} \\\\= 6$

Area of rectangle = length X breadth

                             = 6 X 6

                             = 36 square units.

Therefore, Melissa's solution is correct.
