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? (1 point)
To find the area of the rectangle, we need to calculate the length and width of the rectangle.
The length of the rectangle can be calculated as the difference between the x-coordinates of the points:
Length = 35 - 1 = 34 units
The width of the rectangle can be calculated as the difference between the y-coordinates of the points:
Width = 53 - 3 = 50 units
Now, we can calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 34 x 50 = 1700 square units
Therefore, the area of the rectangle on the graph is 1700 square units.
