Answer:
The Fourth vertex of the rectangle ABCD is (3, 3) and the area of the rectangle is 12 unit.
Solution:
Given three vertices of a rectangle are
A= (3, 1)
B= (-3, 1)
C= (-3, 3)
Step 1:
The graph for this sum is attached below.
By looking at the graph we see that coordinates of D are (3, 3)
We found the fourth vertex and now we can find the Area of rectangle.
Step 2:
The distance between B and C
We know the co-ordinates of B and C are B = (-3, 1) and C= (-3, 3)
BC= (-3+3) + (3-1) = 2
Step 3:
The distance between D and C
We know the co-ordinates of D and C are (3, 3) and C= (-3, 3)
DC= (-3-3) + (3-3) = 6
Step 4:
Area of ABCD rectangle = length [tex]\times[/tex] breadth = DC [tex]\times[/tex] BC
= 6 × 2 = 12 units
Therefore area of Rectangle is 12 cm.
