Based on the given, there are two ways to know the dimensions of the rectangle. First, by simply drawing the coordinates given in a cartesian coordinate plane, P1 (0,6), P2 (8,6) by looking at the ordinate the length is 6 units, thru P3 (0,0) and P4 (8,0) and looking at the abscissa, the width is 8 units. The second way is through the distance formula, d=sqrt (X2-X1) 2 + (Y2-Y1) 2. The dimensions are L=8 and W=6
