Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has 4 sides.
2 of them are lengths and 3 of them are widths.
We can simply use coordinate geometry (without graphing) to find side lengths of the rectangle. We will use Distance Formula.
We can find all the 4 lengths by using Distance Formula from points:
W and X
X and Y
Y and Z
W and Z
Note, that we don't need to find all 4 of them individually, because 2 are lengths (same) and 2 are widths (same). Thus we can find
Distance of WX, which would be same as distance of YZ
also
Distance of XY which would be same as distance of WZ
<em><u>Note:</u></em> Distance Formula is where D is the distance, x_1, y_1 is the first coordinate points and x_2,y_2 is the second coordinate points
