Question

Given that the points (-2, 10), (5, 10), (5, 1), and (-2, 1) are vertices of a rectangle, how much longer is the length than the width?

Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 2 units longer than the width

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

$A(-2, 10), B(5, 10), C(5, 1), D(-2, 1)$

Using a graphing tool

Plot the vertices of the rectangle

See the attached figure

we know that

AD=BC ------> the length

AB=DC ------> the width

Find the length

$L=10-1=9\ units$

Find the width

$W=5-(-2)=7\ units$

Find the difference

$9\ units-7\ units=2\ units$

therefore

The length is 2 units longer than the width
