Question

A rectangle has coordinates (2, 6) (9, 6) (9, 10) and (2, 10) on a grid with 1 cm squares. What is the area of the shaded rectangle?

Answer 1

Area of Rectangle = 28 cm²

Explanation:

Given - A rectangle has coordinates (2, 6) (9, 6) (9, 10) and (2, 10) on a grid with 1 cm squares.

To find - What is the area of the shaded rectangle?

Solution -

The graph of the rectangle is as follows :

From the diagram, e can see that

Length of Rectangle = 7 units (cm)

Breadth of Rectangle = 4 units (cm)

We know that,

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth

= 7 × 4

= 28 cm²

⇒Area of Rectangle = 28 cm²
