To find the area of the rectangle, we can use the formula:
Area = length * width
First, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle. The length can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates of points A and D:
length = |2 - 2| = 0
The width can be found by subtracting the y-coordinates of points A and B:
width = |-5 - (-1)| = 4
Now, we can plug the values into the formula:
Area = 0 * 4 = 0 square miles
Therefore, the area of rectangle ABCD is 0 square miles.
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)
