Given that the points (-7, 6), (3, 6), (3, -6), and (-7, -6) are vertices of a rectangle, how much longer is the length than the width?

Therefore,

The Length is longer than Width by 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the vertices of a Rectangle be  

A ( -7 , 6)

B ( 3 , 6)

C ( 3 , -6)

D ( -7 ,-6)

To Find:

Relation between Length and Width = ?

Solution:

First we will find the Length and Width of Rectangle by Distance Formula ,

Substituting the values we get

Similarly for BC we will have,

Now

Length = 12 units.

Width = 10 units.

Therefore,

Let Length be denoted by "L" and Width by "W" then

Therefore,

The Length is longer than Width by 2 units.

answer

d. 10

explanation

the distance from point y to wx is the height of the triangle.

using pythagoras theorem,

group similar terms to get,

this implies that,

take positive square root of both sides to get,

this implies that,
