If the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 12 square units where should points C and D be located if they lie vertically below A and B to make this rectangle class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

C(2,-2), D(-1,-2)

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

[tex]A=L\times W[/tex]

• From the graph, AB = 3 units.

,

• Given that the area = 12 square units

[tex]\begin{gathered} 12=3\times L \\ L=\frac{12}{3}=4 \end{gathered}[/tex]

This means that the distance from B to C and A to D must be 4 units each.

Count 4 units vertically downwards from A and B.

The coordinates of C and D are:

• C(2,-2)

,

• D(-1,-2)

The first option is correct.
