What is the area of rectangle ABCD?
coordinate plane with rectangle ABCD at A (0, 2), B (0, 4), C (4, 4), and D (4, 2)
1. 4 square units
2. 8 square units
3. 12 square units
4. 16 square units

Answer 1

8 square units

Answer 2

8 square units

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle= lenght x width

locating the four points on a Cartesian plane

lenght = BC= AD = (0,4)->(4,4) = 4units

width = AB = CD = (0,2)-> (0,4) = 2units

Area of rectangle = 4units x 2units = 8 square units
