Question

Given that the points (-2, 10), (5, 10), (5, 1), and (-2, 1) are vertices of a rectangle, how much longer is the length than the width? A) 1 unit B) 2 units 0) 3 units D) 4 units E) 5 units

Answer 1

The length of both sides is obtained by subtracting one coordinate from another sharing a similar coordinate.

(-2,10) - (5,10) = (-7,0)

These points are 7 units apart.

Let's compare the other length.

(5,10) - (5,1) = ( 0, -9)

These points are 9 units apart.

Therefore, the length is longer than the breadth by 9 - 7 = 2 units

Option B
