Question

What is the area of a rectangle with vertices (-8, -2), (-3,-2), (-3,-6), and (-8,-6)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the x values of the ordered pairs, we can see that the length of the rectangle is 5

$-3-(-8)=5$

Through the y-values of the ordered pairs, we can see that the width of the rectangle is 4

$-2-(-6)=4$

The area can be found by multiplying the length and width, so this means

$(5)(4)=20$
