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

The answer to your question is Area = 40 u²

Step-by-step explanation:

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

dAB =

dAB =

dAB =

dAB = 10

dAD =

dAD =

dAD =

dAD = 4

3.- Calculate the area

Area = base x height

Area = 4 x 10

Area = 40 u²

step-by-step explanation:

u take $30 minus $24. the answer/original($30)
