Rectangle defined by L(–2, –4), M(–2, 1), N(7, 1), and P(7, –4)
Choose one answer.
a. 36 sq units
b. 40 sq units
c. 45 sq units
to draw: the points go clockwise from L, L is in lower left corner, line segments LM & PN are the width, MN and LP are the length,
LM = PN = width, MN = LP = length
use distance formula to find width and length
D = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
LM = sqrt((-2 + 2)^2 + (1 + 4)^2)
LM = sqrt(5^2)
LM = sqrt(25)
LM = 5
MN = sqrt((7 + 2)^2 + (1 - 1)^2)
MN = sqrt(9^2)
MN = sqrt(81)
MN = 9
area = width * length = LM * MN = 5 * 9 = 45
answer is c. 45 sq units

Hi,
L(–2, –4), M(–2, 1),
N(7, 1), and P(7, –4)
rectangle 8 long and 5 wide. Area = 8*5 sq units
answer b would be the correct choice
