Draw your own rectangle, with an area of 24 square units, on the coordinate plane. Then, identify the vertices of your rectangle
. Explain how you know that your rectangle has the correct area.
2 answers:
Answer:
The vertices of the rectangle are (-4, 3), (2, 3), (-4, -1), (2, -1).
The distance between (-4, 3) and (2, 3) is 6 units.
The distance between (-4, 3) and (-4, -1) is 4 units.
6 x 4 = 24 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
First you should remember that the formula for calculating area of a rectangle is;
Area=Length × width
You can decide to have a rectangle with different dimensions provided the area is 24 square unit
For this case, lets choose a rectangle with vertices at (1,0), (7,0),(1,4), (7,4)
After plotting these coordinates, you will notice your rectangle has a length of 6 units and a width of 4 units
A single unit is 1 square unit.When you Count the number of units inside the rectangle formed you realize you have 24 units covered inside
The area of the 24 units will be;
24×1 square unit= 24 square units
