What is the area of rectangle abcd? coordinate plane with rectangle abcd at a 0 comma 2, b 0 comma 4, c 4 comma 4, and d 4 comma 2
a. 4 square units
b. 8 square units
c. 12 square units
d. 16 square units

option d.   16 square units

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

area of rectangle = length * breadth

it is given that, a rectangle with coordinates,

a(0, 2), b(0, 4), c(4, 4) and d(4, 2)

to find the length and breadth of rectangle

by using distance formula,

ab = √[(0 - 0)² + (4 - 0)²

  = √16 = 4

bc= √[(4 - 0)² + (4 - 4)²

  = √16 = 4

length = breadth   = 4

to find the area of rectangle

area = length * breadth

  = 4 * 4 = 16 square units

the correct answer is option d.   16 square units

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
