Answer: The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance between the points, we use the formula:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
where,
d= distance
[tex]x_2\text{ and }x_1[/tex] are the coordinates of the points on x-axis
[tex]y_2\text{ and }y_1[/tex] are the coordinates of the points on y-axis
For the given points:
A(-4,3), B(2,5), C(3,2) and D(-3,0)
- Calculating the distance CD:
[tex]x_2=3\\x_1=-3\\y_2=2\\y_1=0[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]CD=\sqrt{(3-(-3))^2+(2-0)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{36+4}=6.32units[/tex]
- Calculating the distance AD:
[tex]x_2=-4\\x_1=-3\\y_2=3\\y_1=0[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]AD=\sqrt{(-4-(-3))^2+(-3-0)^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{1+9}=3.16units[/tex]
To calculate the area of a reactangle, we use the equation:
[tex]Area=l\times b[/tex] ....(1)
where,
l = length of the rectangle = CD = 6.32 units
b = breadth of the rectangle = AD = 3.16 units
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]Area=6.32\times 3.16\\\\Area=20.0 \text{ square units}[/tex]
Hence, the correct option is A.
