What's the area of this rectangle?

Bess [88]

well, the assumption is that is a rectangle, namely it has two equal pairs, so we can just find the length of one of the pairs to get the dimensions.

hmmmm let's say let's get the length of the segment at (-1,-3), (1,3) for its length

and

the length of the segment at (-1, -3), (-4, -2) for its width

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{length}{L}=\sqrt{[1-(-1)]^2+[3-(-3)]^2}\implies L=\sqrt{(1+1)^2+(3+3)^2} \\\\\\ L=\sqrt{4+36}\implies L=\sqrt{40} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{width}{w}=\sqrt{[-4-(-1)]^2+[-2-(-3)]^2}\implies w=\sqrt{(-4+1)^2+(-2+3)^2} \\\\\\ w=\sqrt{9+1}\implies w=\sqrt{10} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the rectangle}}{A=Lw}\implies \sqrt{40}\cdot \sqrt{10}\implies \sqrt{400}\implies \boxed{20}$
