Determine the most precise name for the quadrilateral. Then find its area. P(0,3) Q(4,3) R(-2,-3) S(-6,-3)
If you plot the 4 points you have a parallelogram
the bottom side is from (-6,-3) to (-2,-3)
The top is from (0,3) to (4,3)
This gives a base length of 4 since the distance
from (-6,-3) to (-2,-3) = 4
as does the distance from (0,3) to (4,3)
The sides are the connecting lines from (0,3) to (-6,-3)
and from (4,3) to (-2,-3). The vertical height is -3 up to 3 or 6
The area of the parallelogram is base*height = 4(6) = 24
I hope this will help you
