Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Plotting out the points it would
\n" ); document.write( "appear that the length of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "is represented by(0,2) and (0 -6)
\n" ); document.write( "Using distance formula
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt (0 - 0)^2 + (-6 - 2)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt (-8)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt 64 = 8 units
\n" ); document.write( "The width is represented by
\n" ); document.write( "(0,2) and (5,2)
\n" ); document.write( "Using distance formula
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt(5 - 0)^2 + (2 -2)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt (5)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Sqrt 25 = 5 units
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length x width
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 8 x 5
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 40 units^2
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
