Question

A rectangle is plotted on a coordinate plane. The four vertices are located at (−5,5), (−5,−3), (2,5), and (2,−3). What is the area of the rectangle?

The area of the rectangle is ______ square units.

Answer 1

56 square units

Explanation:

I'd recomend using something like "Desmos" to plot the points so then you can see the points and the rectangle. Then count the length and width. For the this rectangle the length was 8 and the width was 7, multiply these and you get the answer of 56 sqaure units.
