Question

What are the dimensions of the rectangle shown below? Remember to use the axes on the coordinate grid to help you.

Answer 1

To find the distance between points \(a\) and \(b\) on a line, do \(|a - b|\).

Answer 2

A-B is 8 and B-C is 4

Answer 3

In the x-axis, AB is from -8 to 8.
The distance from A to B is |-8 - 8| = |-16| = 16.

In the y-axis, BC is from -6 to 2.
The distance from B to C is |-6 - 2| = |-8| = 8.

The length and width of the rectangle are 16 and 8.
