I think that x is on they y axis and what connects between that is 2,-3
Given:
The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).
To find:
The area of the rectangle.
Solution:
Distance formula:
Using the distance formula, we get
Similarly,
Now, the length of the rectangle is and the width of the rectangle is . So, the area of the rectangle is:
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.
Given:
A rectangular piece of cloth (dimensions):
L = length of the rectangle
W = width of the rectangle
The area of the rectangle is:
A = L x W
If the cloth is cut along the diagonal, the area of one sail will be half the area of the rectangle:
A (one sail) = 1/2 (L x W) <span />
