The dimensions of the rectangle shown on the coordinate plane is The base is 9 units and the height is 4 units.
Option: B.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given with the coordinate points of a rectangle.
The points are (1, -1), (10, -1), (10, -5), (1, -5).
From the given graph, the bigger side is the base and the height is the smaller side.
The points (1, -1), (10, -1) and (1, -5), (10, -5) can be used to find the base of the rectangle.
The points (10, -1), (10, -5) and (1, -1), (1, -5) can be used to find the height of the rectangle.
Let us find the base using coordinate point (1, -5), (10, -5) .
Since the base runs horizontally on the x-axis, we have to find the run.
run = [tex]x_2-x_1[/tex].
run = 10-1.
run (base)= 9 units.
Let us find the base using coordinate point (10, -1), (10, -5) .
Since the height runs vertically on the y-axis, we have to find the rise.
rise = [tex]y_2-y_1[/tex].
rise = -5-(-1).
rise=-5+1.
rise (height)= 4 units. ( Units are always measured in positive.)
∴ The base is 9 units and the height is 4 units.
