Given, the two adjacent vertices of the rectangle are and the -co-ordinates of both of these points is same this means they lie on the line which is parallel to the -axis.
And, we know that the sides of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other, hence the other two sides passing through these vertices are parallel to -axis.
Also, we know that the equation of a line parallel -axis is
Therefore, the equation of the sides of the rectangle passing through and are respectively and
And, hence the other two vertices of the rectangle can be taken as and
And since the other side is parallel to -axis, hence
Here, diagonal subtends right angle at the circumference of circle, so its mid-point is the same as centre of circle, which lies on the given diameter.
The mid-point of a line segment joining the points and is hence, the mid-point of the diagonal of the rectangle is
This point lie on the diameter
So,
Hence, the vertices are and
The distance between the points and is
Thus, the length of sides are and units.
Hence, area sq. units
