Question

A rectangle has vertices at (0,0),(3,0) and (0,6). What is the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

Area of the rectangle is 18 units.

Explanation:

• The distance between the points (0,0) and (0,6) gives the length of the rectangle.
• The distance between the points (0,0) and (0,3) gives the width of the rectangle.

Area of the rectangle = length
`*`width

• Substitute length = 6 units and width = 3 units.
• Area of the rectangle = 6
  `*`3 = 18 units.
