Question

HELP!! What is the area of the rectangle shown on the coordinate plane?

Enter your answer in the box. Do not round at any steps.

Answer 1

The area is 26.

Explanation:

We can start by finding the length of the smaller side. We can use the distance formula, A.K.A Pythagorean's theorem(which I assume you know), to find the length of it. This gives us the smaller side length of
`√(4+9)` or
`√(13)`. Similarly, we can use the same distance formula to get the larger side,
`2√(13)`. Finally, we multiply the two to get, 26.
