What is the area of a rectangle with vertices (-8, -2), (-3,-2), (-3,-6), and (-8,-6)?
________square units

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Through the x values of the ordered pairs, we can see that the length of the rectangle is 5

[tex]-3-(-8)=5[/tex]

Through the y-values of the ordered pairs, we can see that the width of the rectangle is 4

[tex]-2-(-6)=4[/tex]

The area can be found by multiplying the length and width, so this means

[tex](5)(4)=20[/tex]
