Question

What is the area of the parallelogram plotted in the Coordinate Plan in square units? (Only include value! Don't include the word phrase "Squared Units.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

D (-2,4) C(-2,-4)

$DC=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{(-2-[-2])^{2}+(-4-4)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-2+2)^{2}+(-8)^{2}}\\\\ =\sqrt{0+64}\\\\ =\sqrt{64}\\\\=8$

Base = 8

Height (h)= 3

Area of parallelogram = b*h = 8*3 = 24
