Question

10. Plot and connect the points to form a rectangle. Then find the length, width, and area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle is 4

The width of the rectangle is 3.

The area of the rectangle is 12 square units.

Explanation:

Given that the coordinates of the rectangle are A(3,0), B(0,0), C(0,4), D(3,4)​

We need to determine the length, width and area of the rectangle.

Length:

After plotting the coordinates in the graph, it is obvious that the length of the rectangle is 4.

Width:

After plotting the coordinates in the graph, it is obvious that the width of the rectangle is 3.

Area of the rectangle:

The formula to determine the area of the rectangle is given by

$Area=length \times width$

Substituting the values, we have,

$Area=4\times 3=12$

Thus, the area of the rectangle is 12 square units.
