Question

An architect is designing a rectangular-shaped skyscraper. The base of the building is a rectangle, with corners at (1, 3), (35, 3), (35, 53), and (1, 53) on the coordinate plane. What is the area of the rectangle on the graph?

Answer 1

Width = 35 − 1 = 34, height = 53 − 3 = 50. Area = 34 × 50 = 1700.

So the rectangle's area is 1700 square units.
