Question

U piot points

B
What is the area of a rectangle with vertices
(-1,-4), (-1, 6), (3, 6), and (3, -4)?
o 16 square units
* 24 square units
O 36 square units
O 40 square units

Answer 1

The answer to your question is Area = 40 u²

Data

A = (-1, -4)

B = (-1, 6)

C = (3, 6)

D = (3, - 4)

Process

1.- Plot the points to determine the base and the height (see the graph below)

2.- Calculate the distance between A and B and A and D

dAD = 4

3.- Calculate the area

Area = base x height

Area = 4 x 10

Area = 40 u²

Answer 2

40 sq units
