Answer:
25units²
Explanation:
Given the coordinates of three vertices of a square as A(1, –1), B(6, –1), and C(6, 4). The area of the square is expressed as;
A = L² where;
L is the one of the side length of the square.
Note that all the sides of a square are equal;
To get one of the side length, we will find the distance between any two of the coordinates points. Using the coordinates A(1, –1), B(6, –1)
L = AB = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²
L = √(6-1)²+(-1-(-1))²
L = √5²+0²
L = √25
L = 5
Area of the square = 5²
Area of the square = 25units²
Hence the area of the square is 25units²
