Answer:
The word papyrus refers both to the writing support invented by the ancient Egyptians (35.9.19a–e ), and the plant from which they made this material. Excavators of a tomb at Saqqara discovered the earliest known roll of papyrus , dated to around 2900 B.C., and papyrus continued to be used until the eleventh century A.D. even as paper, invented in China , became the most popular writing material for the Arab world around the eighth century A.D. In ancient Egypt , texts could be written on papyrus in hieroglyphs, hieratic script, or Demotic script, and later papyrus was used in Greek (09.182.50 ), Coptic, Latin, Aramaic, and Arabic documents. With minor variations, the papyrus roll was produced essentially the same way throughout its approximately 4,000-year history. In addition to its function as a material for writing, papyrus was used in rope, basketry, sandals (10.184.1a,b ), and other everyday items.

Let's use the pythagorean theorem to determine the lengths of each side of the rectangle.
A = (-3,-1), B = (1,3), C = (3,1), D = (-1,-3)
Length AB^2 = (-3 - 1)^2 + (-1 -3)^2 = -4^2 + -4^2 = 16+16 = 32
Length BC^2 = (1 - 3)^2 + (3-1)^2 = -2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
Length CD^2 = (3-(-1))^2 + (1-(-3))^2 = 4^2 + 4^2 = 16+16 = 32
Length AD^2 = (-3 - (-1))^2 + (-1 - (-3))^2 = -2^2 + 2^2 = 4 + 4 = 8
And just to make certain I haven't accidentally included the diagonal of the rectangle, I'll check AC and BD. So
Length AC^2 = (-3 - 3)^2 + (-1 - 1)^2 = -6^2 + -2^2 = 36 + 4 = 40
Length BD^2 = (1 - (-1))^2 + (3 - (-3))^2 = 2^2 + 6^2 = 4 + 36 = 40
So I now know that length of the rectangle is sqrt(32) and the width is sqrt(8). And the area will be the product of those 2 numbers. So
sqrt(32)*sqrt(8) = sqrt(256) = 16.
So the area of the rectangle is 16 square units.</span>
Answer:
It's almost impossible to imagine the United States (U.S.) Constitution without having a Bill of Rights, but when it was first being drafted, a majority of the Founding Fathers didn't think it was necessary.
However, there were a few men who believed it was so significant that they refused to sign the Constitution because it didn't have one. Three famous refusers were George Mason of Virginia, Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, and Edmund Randolph of Virginia.
As it turned out, these three were not the only ones who thought this was an issue. When State ratification messages started arriving with their own commentary and suggestions for individual rights, Congress began to consider the idea of a "Bill of Rights."
