Question

Determine the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle to compute the area of the rectangle using the distance formula (round to the nearest integer).

A) 35 units2
B) 50 units2
C) 60 units2
D) 70 units2

Answer 1

The answer is 70 units2

Explanation:

D = dx

2 + dy

2

W = (5-10)

2 + (10-5)

2

W = (5)

2 + (5)

2 = 7.071

L = (5-12)

2 + (10-17)

2

L = (7)

2 + (7)

2 = 9.899

A = LxW = (9.899)(7.071) = 69.9958 units
