Question
Find and then compare lengths of segments.Find the area of the rectangle with vertices $B(8,0), T(2,-9)$ $R(-1,-7),$ and $C(5,2)$
Step 1
To confirm that the points form a rectangle, we need to check that the opposite sides are parallel and equal in length, and the diagonals are equal in length. We start by calculating the slopes of the sides. - Slope of BT: \( \frac{-9 - 0}{2 - 8} = Show more…
