Question

A home has a rectangular kitchen. If listed as ordered pairs, the corners of the kitchen are (11, 5), (−6, 5), (11, −2), and (−6, −2). What is the area of the kitchen in square feet?

A. 119 ft2
B. 49 ft2
C. 48 ft2

Answer 1

A. 119 ft2

Explanation:

(11, 5) and (-6, 5)

= 11 - (-6)

= 17 feet

(11, 5) and (11, -2)

= 5 - (-2)

= 7 feet

17 × 7 = 119 square feet
