Question

Quadrilateral DEFG is a rectangle with vertices D(–8, 2), E(2, 7), F(5, 1), and G(–5, –4). Find the area of the rectangle. i need answer not explanation

Answer 1

OS doesn't allow answers

Answer 2

thats retarded

Answer 3

whats the point of it then?

Answer 4

you'll learn something from an explanation ; you won't from just an answer.

Answer 5

a. 60U b.75U c.112 d.150....i just wanna pass this class honestly when will i ever use this in life unless i wanted to be an engineer or something

Answer 6

and i dont wanna be an engineer

Answer 7

the area of a rectangle = length * width
In other words its the product of adjacent sides

Answer 8

Actually, in many ways you do use it.

We aren't incompetent. If you don't like our ways, bye. We teach here, so you don't keep asking the same questions. Better to learn.

Answer 9

but i dont know the length or width so how would i find that out?

Answer 10

use the euclidean distance formula for 2 dimensions

Answer 11

D(–8, 2), E(2, 7), F(5, 1), and G(–5, –4)

Hint, it is on a graph, line grid I suppose.

Answer 12

You need to find the distance between points D and E , the E and F.

Answer 13

i give up im just guessing

Answer 14

picked 112u hope that was right

Answer 15

There is a formula you can use to do this.

Distance = sqrt ((y2 - y1)^2 + (x2 - x1)^2)

Answer 16

well ur guess was wrong.

Answer 17

this site used to be dope i got so many answers last year but yall wack now

Answer 18

you have four points of a rectangle . you can use two of them to find the length and the other two to find the breadth. say, you use the points D and E to find the length.... so you use the formula.....
D = (-8,2) E = (2,7)
length = sqrt[ (2 - (-8))^2 + (7-2)^2 ]
and for breadth you can use the points E and G
E=(2,7) G = (5,1)
breadth = sqrt[ (5-2)^2 + (1-7)^2 ]
now you can multiply the length with breadth and you have ur answer.
