Find the area of the 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.
To find the area of the rectangle with these vertices, we first need to find the length of the sides of the rectangle.
The length of side AB is 5-2 = 3 units.
The length of side BC is -1 - (-5) = 4 units.
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length by the width. In this case, the area would be:
Area = 3 units * 4 units = 12 square units
To convert the area from square units to square miles, we need to know the scale at which the units are measured. Without this information, we cannot accurately convert the area to square miles.
