A rectangle has two adjacent vertices at (−1, 2) and (5, 2), and its area is 30 sq units. Which could be its other two vertices?

  • A(5, 7) and (−1, −3)
  • B(5, −3) and (−1, −3)
  • C(5, 5) and (−1, 5)
  • D(5, 32) and (−1, 32)

Step-by-Step Solution

Side along has length , so the other side is 30 ÷ 6 = 5. The rectangle goes 5 up or 5 down ; only (5, −3), (−1, −3) is offered as a matching pair. (5, 5) gives height 3, area 18; mixing 7 and −3 does not make a rectangle.
Answer: B) (5, −3) and (−1, −3)
