Answer: “I heard the word fire several times but know not whether it came from the captain, the soldiers, or the people”
Explanation: This is the only one that supports the Captain, because it states that they ddi not know who was saying fire.
Someone already wrote a answer to the question the same as but with different wording; here you go.
<span>16 square units.
Let's use the pythagorean theorem to determine the lengths of each side of the rectangle.
A = (-3,-1), B = (1,3), C = (3,1), D = (-1,-3)
Length AB^2 = (-3 - 1)^2 + (-1 -3)^2 = -4^2 + -4^2 = 16+16 = 32
Length BC^2 = (1 - 3)^2 + (3-1)^2 = -2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
Length CD^2 = (3-(-1))^2 + (1-(-3))^2 = 4^2 + 4^2 = 16+16 = 32
Length AD^2 = (-3 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - (-3))^2 = -2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
And just to make certain I haven't accidentally included the diagonal of the rectangle, I'll check AC and BD. So
Length AC^2 = (-3 - 3)^2 + (-1 - 1)^2 = -6^2 + -2^2 = 36 + 4 = 40
Length BD^2 = (1 - (-1))^2 + (3 - (-3))^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40
So I now know that length of the rectangle is sqrt(32) and the width is sqrt(8). And the area will be the product of those 2 numbers. So
sqrt(32)*sqrt(8) = sqrt(256) = 16.
So the area of the rectangle is 16 square units.</span>
