Find the area of a rectangle abcd that has verticals point A(2,-5) point B (5,-5) point C (5,-1) and point D (2-1) in square miles
The area of the rectangle ABCD is _____ square miles.
To find the area of the rectangle ABCD, we need to use the formula for the area of a rectangle which is length x width.
First, we need to find the length of the rectangle. This can be calculated by finding the difference in the y-coordinates of points A and B:
Length = ABS(5 - (-5)) = 10
Next, we need to find the width of the rectangle. This can be calculated by finding the difference in the x-coordinates of points A and D:
Width = ABS(2 - 2) = 3
Now, we can calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = Length x Width
Area = 10 x 3
Area = 30 square miles
Therefore, the area of the rectangle ABCD is 30 square miles.
