Question

Find the area of 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)

Answer 1

can you find a way to find the conversion factor

Answer 2

To find the area of a rectangle with these vertices, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle which is length times width.

The distance between points A and B is 5-2 = 3 units, and the distance between points A and D is -1 - (-5) = 4 units.

So, the length of the rectangle is 4 units and the width of the rectangle is 3 units.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is:

Area = length x width
Area = 4 units x 3 units
Area = 12 square units

Since the question asks for the area in square miles, we cannot directly provide the area in square miles without knowing the conversion factor from square units to square miles.

Answer 3

To find the conversion factor from square units to square miles, we need to know the scale of the drawing or the given context in which the rectangle is being measured. Without that information, it is impossible to accurately convert square units to square miles.

However, if we assume that the sides of the rectangle are given in miles, then the area would already be in square miles since it is a rectangle measured in miles.

If the sides were given in another unit such as feet, then we would need to convert the area from square feet to square miles. In this case, we would use the conversion factor 1 mile = 5280 feet to convert the area to square miles.
