The casualty count of the Battle of Gettysburg was nearly
one-third of the total forces that were engaged in the battle. Though there was no definite casualty count
in the battle, the nearest answer from the choices you have is the choice
number 1, 46,000 men lay dead or wounded.
<span>16 square units.
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>
