Finding Area on a Coordinate Plane

Question 6 • *WHS Pre-Algebra - MA3119 B-CR

A rectangle on a coordinate plane has vertices L(0, 6), M(8, 6), N(8, 0), and O(0, 0). 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 6.
C
The base is 6 and the height is 6.
D
The base is 8 and the height is 8.

Explanation

The horizontal side runs from x = 0 to x = 8, so its length is 8 units. The vertical side runs from y = 0 to y = 6, so its length is 6 units. Therefore, the rectangle’s base is 8 and its height is 6, which is choice B.
