Question

A square has the following vertices. Find the area of the square.
(-7,-5), (-4,-2), (-1,-5), (-4,-8)
(1 point)
O V18 square units
O 18 square units
O V6 square units
O 6 square units

Answer 1

Answer:

18 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shape is a square lets find the distance between two close point then square the distance to find the answer.

Lets take the point (-7,-5), (-4,-2)

Distance= √((y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²)

Distance= √((-2--5)²+(-4--7)²)

Distance= √((-2+5)²+(-4+7)²)

Distance= √((3)²+(3)²)

Distance= √(9+9)

Distance= √18 units

Area= distance ²

area= √18²

Area= 18 square unit
