What is the area of a rectangle with vertices (2, 3), (9, 3), (9, Negative 2), and (2, Negative 2)? square units

Area of the rectangle =

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the Rectangle= Product of the two Unequal sides

Finding the two unequal sides of the rectangle using the distance formula:

For the coordinates:

A(2,3)  B(9,3)  C(9,-2)  D(2,-2)

Using Distance formula:

AB=

Similarly, BC= 5 units

Area of the rectangle is:

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
