Question

The width of a rectangle is shown below:



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?

Answer 1

The distance between points A and C is 7 units, so to find the length we divide 35 by 7 which equals 5. Now we know that points B and D must be 5 units away from A and C, which means that B would be at (2, 3) and D would be at (2, -4). I hope this helps!

Answer 2

(2,-4) & (2,3) because points A and C are 7 squares apart and you need an area of 35. So 7•_=35 -> 7•5=35 so you need to go 5 squares to the right of A and C.
