A) The area of the rectangle ABCD is base times height. 20in x 12in = 240 in sq.
B) The area of the triangle AED is base times height divided by two. (14in x 12in)/2 = 84in sq.
C) Figure EBCD is a right trapezoid (having one pair of parallel sides, while the others are slanted and forming a right angle).
D) Area of EBCD is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the triangle. 240in sq - 84in sq = 156in sq.
Answer: The Answer is going to be B.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the distance between each pair of points using the distance formula Sqrt((x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2),(x1 and x2 are the x ordinates of each point, and y1 and y2 are the y ordinates. Sqrt stands for square root, and ^2 is to the power of two.
Using this we can find the side between 7,6 and 7,1 is 5.
The side between 7,1 and -5,6 is 13
The side between 7,6 and -5,6 is 12
After using the formula we can conclude the side between 7,1 and -5,6 is the longest, and it equals 13. Therefore the answer is B.
