Chapter 13.7, Problem 4PSA

To determine

To find:The area of the square with the given vertices.

Answer to Problem 4PSA

The area of the square is $25\text{sq}\text{.}\text{units}$ .

Explanation of Solution

The side of the square is calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{c}s=x_2-x_1\\ =6-1\\ =5\end{array}$

The area of square is calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=s^2\\ =5^2\\ =25\text{sq}\text{.units}\end{array}$

Therefore, the area of square is $25\text{sq}\text{.}\text{units}$ .
