Question

Find the area of rectangle QRST, with vertices Q(−1,7), R(5,7), S(5,3), and T(−1,3).

units by the power of 2

Answer 1

To find the area of the rectangle QRST, we need to calculate the length of the base and the height.

The base QR has a length of 5 - (-1) = 6 units
The height RS has a length of 7 - 3 = 4 units

Therefore, the area of the rectangle QRST is given by:
Area = base x height
Area = 6 x 4
Area = 24 square units

So, the area of rectangle QRST is 24 square units.

Answer 2

WRONG

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.

To find the area of the rectangle QRST, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = length x width

First, we need to calculate the length of QR:
QR = sqrt[(5-(-1))^2 + (7-7)^2]
QR = sqrt[6^2 + 0]
QR = sqrt[36]
QR = 6 units

Next, we need to calculate the width of RS:
RS = sqrt[(5-5)^2 + (3-7)^2]
RS = sqrt[0 + (-4)^2]
RS = sqrt[16]
RS = 4 units

Now, we can find the area of the rectangle:
Area = QR x RS
Area = 6 x 4
Area = 24 square units

Therefore, the correct area of rectangle QRST is 24 square units.
