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 find the length and width of the base.
The length is the difference between the x-coordinates of two adjacent corners:
35 - 1 = 34
The width is the difference between the y-coordinates of two adjacent corners:
53 - 3 = 50
Now, we can calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = length x width
Area = 34 x 50
Area = 1700
Therefore, the area of the rectangle on the graph is 1700 square units.
