What is the area of a rectangle with vertices at (2, 3), (7, 3), (7, 10), and (2, 10) ?

a. 44 units2

b. 30 units2

c. 24 units2

d. 35 units2

Given:

x y

2 3

7 3

7 10

2 10

It is easier to graph these vertices to avoid confusion.

Length: basis is the y-values : 10 - 3 = 7 units

Width: basis is the x-values: 7-2 = 5 units

Area = Length * Width

A = 7 units * 5 units

A = 35 units² Choice D.
