Answer:
Option 2) 30 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Plot the rectangle to better understand the problem
we have
A(1, 2),B(5, 0),C(2, -6) and D(-2, -4)
see that attached figure
step 2
Find the length of the sides
Remember that'
the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to
<em>Find the length side AB</em>
we have
A(1, 2),B(5, 0)
substitute in the formula
<em>Find the length side BC</em>
we have
B(5, 0),C(2, -6)
substitute in the formula
step 3
Find the area of rectangle
The area of rectangle is equal to
we have
substitute
