Question 8

A rectangle has vertices at (0,0), (3,0), and (0,6). What is the area
of the rectangle?

I’ll mark you!

Answer 1

18 square units

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is simply it's base length multiplied by its height.

A = b × h

Since a rectangle has all right angles, it must have two sets of parallel sides.

Given the coordinates (0, 0), (3, 0), (0, 6) which are vertices of the rectangle. You can find the distance between each point to get the side length and then multiply the two side lengths together.
