What is the area of a rectangle with three of its vertices at 1 9 and 6 4 and 6 9?

The area of the rectangle is the length of the perpendicular sides (ie the sides which meet at right angles) multiplied together.
This could be solved by using Pythagoras to find the lengths of the two sides between the given points, but a quick inspection shows that the rectangle is aligned orthogonally (ie parallel to the x- and y-axes) and so only the difference between the corresponding x- and y- coordinates need be calculated before multiplying together.
- The side between (1, 9) and (6, 9) has a length of (6 - 1) = 5 units
- The side between (6, 4) and (6, 9) has a length of (9 - 4) = 5 units
Note: as the perpendicular sides are equal, all four sides are equal in length and this is the special rectangle which is called a square.

What is the relationship between the length and width that will provide the largest area of a three sided rectangle?
There is no such thing as a three sided rectangle. They have four sides. Length and width of a rectangle being THE SAME (having a 1:1 ratio) will provide the largest area possible. In other words, for a given perimeter, a square is the largest rectangle. If you mean a triangle (which has three sides), then all sides being equal will still yield the largest area.
How much verticies on a 3D Pyramid?
All pyramids are three-dimensional shapes. The number of vertices depends upon the shape of its based, which doesn't have to be a square or rectangle. The number of vertices is equal to n+1 , where n is the number of sides in the base polygon.

How many areas do you need to know to get the surface area of a rectangular prism?
Three: 1) The area of the cross-sectional rectangle end 2) The area of the rectangle joining the longer side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends 3) The area of the rectangle joining the shorter side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends Then the surface area of the rectangular prism is twice the sum of these three areas.
