A rectangle on a coordinate plane has vertices cap l times open paren 0 comma 6 close paren , cap m times open paren 8 comma 6 close paren , cap n times open paren 8 comma 0 close paren , and cap o times open paren 0 comma 0 close paren What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Answer
A
The base is 6 and the height is 8 .
B
The base is 8 and the height is 8 .
C
The base is 8 and the height is 6 .
D
The base is 6 and the height is 6 .
Explanation
The base runs horizontally from x = 0 to x = 8, so its length is 8 units. The height runs vertically from y = 0 to y = 6, so it is 6 units; therefore, the correct choice is “The base is 8 and the height is 6.”
