Find the area of a rectangle ABCD that has vertices point A (2,−5)
, point B (5,−5)
, point C (5,−1)
, and point D (2,−1)
in square miles.(1 point)
The area of rectangle ABCD is
square miles.
The length of side CD is 5 - 2 = 3 miles
The length of side AD is -1 - (-5) = 4 miles
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = length x width
Area = 3 miles x 4 miles = 12 square miles
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 12 square miles.
