Given:

The vertices of the rectangle ABCD are A(0,1), B(2,4), C(6,0), D(4,-3).

To find:

The area of the rectangle.

Solution:

Distance formula:


D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Using the distance formula, we get


AB=√((2-0)^2+(4-1)^2)


AB=√((2)^2+(3)^2)


AB=√(4+9)


AB=√(13)

Similarly,


BC=√((6-2)^2+(0-4)^2)


BC=√((4)^2+(-4)^2)


BC=√(16+16)


BC=√(32)


BC=4√(2)

Now, the length of the rectangle is
AB=√(13) and the width of the rectangle is
BC=4√(2). So, the area of the rectangle is:


A=length * width


A=√(13)* 4√(2)


A=4√(26)


A\approx 20

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 20 square units.
