Question

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

Answer 1

9 units

Explanation:

We need to find the last point. This is a rectangle. We already have 3 corners. We need the opposite corner to (0,0). One corner has an x of 3 and a y of 0, another corner has a x of 0 and a y of 6.

We therefore know the fourth corner/point is (3, 6)

Now we can properly visualize the rectangle. If the rectangle has a corner at the origin, we can just use a formula and the other corner to find the area.

Area (rectangle) = 1/2 x length x width

The length will be the difference between the two x points (0 and 3) and the width will be the difference between the two y points (0 and 6).

Length = 3

Width = 6

Area = 1/2 x 3 x 6

Area = 9 units

Answer 2

18 sq. units

Explanation:

Height would be 6 and Length would be 3

6 x 3 = 18
