1) Let A, B, C, and D be vertices of a rectangle with length a units and height units.
2) Place the rectangle with vertex A at the origin, along the positive x-axis,
and along the y-axis. Label the vertices A, B, C, and D.
3) The y-coordinate of B is 0 because the vertex is on the x-axis.
Since the side length is a, the x-coordinate is a.
4) The vertex D is on the y-axis so the x-coordinate is 0.
Since the height is units, y-coordinate is .
5) The x-coordinate of C is also a.
Since the side is units long, the y-coordinate of C is .
The ractangle with length a units and height units is
