Thinkaboutthe differentwaysin whichyou coulddrawthe informationin this problem.The simplestidea
is to drawa labeledrectangle.Be sure to label your drawingwith informationfrom the problem.This includes
the namesof the verticesas well as the side lengths.
As in mostsituationsthat you will encounter, thereis morethan one correctway to drawthis shape.Two

The first exampleaboveshowsthe internalstructureof the rectangle,as it is dividedinto squarecentimeters.
The secondexampleshowsthe rectanglesituatedon a coordinategrid. Noticethat we rotatedthe figure
by 90° in the secondpicture.This is fine as long as it was drawnmaintainingside lengths.One implication
