To find the area of the rectangle ABCD, we first need to find the length of the sides.
The distance between points B and C is the difference in their y-coordinates, which is 5 - (-5) = 10.
The distance between points B and D is the difference in their x-coordinates, which is 5 - 2 = 3.
Therefore, the length of the sides of the rectangle are 3 miles and 10 miles.
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = length x width.
In this case, the area of rectangle ABCD is 3 miles x 10 miles = 30 square miles.
find the area of rectangle ABCD that has verticals (2 -5) point B (5, -5 point C (5, -1) and point D (2, -1) in square miles
