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

A coordinate grid is shown with scale from negative 14 to 0 to positive 14 on both x- and y-axes at increments of 2. A figure ABCD is shown with A at ordered pair negative 8, 2, B at ordered pair 8, 2, C at ordered pair 8, negative 6, and D at ordered pair negative 8, negative 6.

14 units × 4 units
16 units × 8 units
24 units × 14 units
64 units × 4 units

I think with units more attention - bc. on this image one unit mean 2 so in this way for the length of 16 needed 8 units and for the width of 8 needed 4 units

jhonyy9 · Answer

@AZ any idea - opinion pls. - in this way ? tysm.

AZ · Answer

I believe surjithayer is correct

Each square is 2 units long and the dimensions of the rectangle are 8 squares long by 4 squares wide. Thus 16 by 8 units.

If you also notice, 8 by 4 isn't an answer choice provided which should make you certain of your answer

surjithayer · Answer

question says it is from -14 units to +14 units

surjithayer · Answer

each square is 2 units
B is correct.
