On a coordinate graph, points F (4,1), G (4,-1), H (-7,1) and J (-7,-1) are the vertices of a rectangle. What is the area of the rectangle?
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THE ANSWER!!!!
The sides of the rectangle are aligned with the coordinate axes, so the dimensions of the rectangle are easily determined to be 4 -(-7) = 11 units by 1 -(-1) = 2 units. As with any rectangle, the area is the product of length and width.
