The main focus is identifying the figure as a rectangle and applying the formula (where is the length and is the width) to calculate its area using the coordinates of the vertices.
Key Concept Explanation
The area of a rectangle is given by . In a coordinate plane, we can find the length and width by calculating the differences in the - coordinates and - coordinates of the vertices.
Step - by - Step Solution
1. Find the length:
Points and (assuming and from the grid) have the same - coordinate. The length (distance between and ) is .
2. Find the width:
Points and (assuming
