Question

What are the dimensions of the rectangle shown on the coordinate plane? On a coordinate plane, a rectangle has points (1, negative 1), (10, negative 1), (10, negative 5), (1, negative 5).

Answer 1

5 by 9

Explanation:

distance between two coordinates in a rectangular plane is given by:

√((x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²)

length of rectangle=√((1-10))²+(-1-(-1))²)

= 9 units

breadth of rectangle= √((10-10)²+(-1-(-5))²)

= 5units

Dimensions of rectangle : 5 by 9

Answer 2

Answer: the dimensions are length 8 units by width 4 units
