Can you check this question please?
Check please? @Hero
so... hmmm how do you find the area of a rectangle?
I just counted the squares... @jdoe0001
ok...hmm so..hmm what did you get anyway?
Did you not look at the image I attached? 52...
@jdoe0001
hm nope, because there wasn't any
@jdoe0001 I attached an image, what are you talking about. Anyway did I get it right?
I don't see any attachment there so. dunno but I guess counting them is one way to do it
if you meant the image with the picture of the rectangle I saw that, sure
but not any picture with your count so.. what did you get anyway?
@Hero I got 52. Is that right?
ahemm nope
so.... how would you get the area of a rectangle anyway? say this one|dw:1430953398135:dw|
LxW So I used a calculator and got 66.
@jdoe0001
well you seem to be ... like hmm quite lagged or something
L x W so length * width so let's take a peek at your picture then |dw:1430954443697:dw| let's say to get our width let us pick the two points of 2,3 and 5,-1 and for the length, say 2,3 and -6, -3 thus \(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({\color{red}{ 2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad % (c,d) &({\color{red}{ 5}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})\impliedby width\\ &({\color{red}{ 2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad % (c,d) &({\color{red}{ 6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -3}})\impliedby length \end{array} \\ \quad \\ % distance value d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)
once you find the width, and length use the L x W then, and that'd be the area of the rectangle
hmmm should be -6 so \(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({\color{red}{ 2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad % (c,d) &({\color{red}{ 5}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -1}})\impliedby width\\ &({\color{red}{ 2}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 3}})\quad % (c,d) &({\color{red}{ -6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ -3}})\impliedby length \end{array} \\ \quad \\ % distance value d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)
