Question

Use the coordinates to compute the approximate area of the rectangle. (1 point) Responses 10 units2 10 units2 40 units2 40 units2 20 units2

Answer 1

To compute the area of a rectangle, you need the length and the width. The area \( A \) can be found using the formula:

\[ A = \text{length} \times \text{width} \]

If you have the coordinates of the rectangle's corners, you can determine the length and width by finding the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates.

For example, if the rectangle's corners are given as:

- Corner 1: (x1, y1)
- Corner 2: (x1, y2) — same x-coordinate, different y-coordinate
- Corner 3: (x2, y1) — different x-coordinate, same y-coordinate
- Corner 4: (x2, y2)

Then:

- Length \( = |x2 - x1| \)
- Width \( = |y2 - y1| \)

With the length and width calculated, you can then multiply them to get the area.

However, as I don't have the specific coordinates, I'm unable to calculate the area directly. Please provide the coordinates of the rectangle corners if you want a specific answer. Depending on the area calculated using given coordinates, options mentioned such as 10 units², 20 units², or 40 units² will yield the result.
