The width of a rectangle is shown below:

a coordinate plane with a point a at negative 3, 3 and c at negative 3, negative 4.

if the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 35 square units, where should points b and d be located if they lie to the right of points a and c?

b(2, 4) and d(2, −3)
b(2, 3) and d(2, −4)
b(3, 3) and d(3, −4)
b(3, −4) and d(3, 3)

ANSWER

B(2, 3) and D(2, −4)

EXPLANATION

The rectangle has its width from A(-3,3) to C(-3,-4).

The with can be calculated using the absolute value method because AC is a vertical line.



The area of the rectangle is 35 square units.

This implies that,






To obtain the coordinates of B and D, we add 5 units to the x-coordinates of A and C respectively because these points are to the right of A and C.

The coordinates of


The coordinates of



The correct answer is the second option.

$18.25 ($365 divided by 20)
