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?

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.
