Find the area of the rectangle ABCD that has vertices a 2 and -5 point B five and -5.c 5 and -1 d 2 and -1 in square miles
To find the area of the rectangle ABCD, we need to find the length and width of the rectangle first.
The length of the rectangle is the difference in x-coordinates of points A and B:
Length = 5 - 2 = 3 miles
The width of the rectangle is the difference in y-coordinates of points A and D:
Width = -1 - (-5) = 4 miles
Now, we can calculate the area of the rectangle using the formula:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 3 * 4 = 12 square miles
Therefore, the area of the rectangle ABCD is 12 square miles.
