What is the area of this? http://prnt.sc/dk72iy

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You can read off the coordinates of each vertex directly from the diagram. With this info, you can then apply the Pyth. Theorem to find the length of each side. You need only the length of one end (which is the width of the rectangle) and the length. Mult. together your length and width to obtain the area.

Would it be 40?

If you'd like for me to check a numerical answer from you, then I'd prefer to see the work you did to obtain that answer.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

What's the length of this rect? What's the width?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

While 40 is "in the neighborhood," it's not the correct area. Again, what is the length of this rectangle? What do you need to know to find that?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Hint: Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

OpenStudy (baby_bear69):

Im not sure what the theorem is..

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Might have to take a more active role in your own learning. Please Google "Pythagorean Theorem."
