A rectangle is drawn on a coordinate plane with vertices (0, 0)(2, 2); (9, - 4) and (7, - 6) . Using the coordinates, what is the approximate area of the rectangle? 52.2unit * s ^ 2; 12.05unit * s ^ 2; 24.1unit * s ^ 2; 25.76unit * s ^ 2
To find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length by the width.
The length of the rectangle can be found by subtracting the x-coordinate of one vertex from the x-coordinate of another vertex. In this case, we can subtract 7 from 9, giving us a length of 2 units.
The width of the rectangle can be found by subtracting the y-coordinate of one vertex from the y-coordinate of another vertex. In this case, we can subtract -4 from -6, giving us a width of 2 units.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 2 * 2 = 4 units^2.
None of the given options match this result.
