One side of a square runs along the x-axis from (−2, 0) to (3, 0), and the square lies below the x-axis. What are its other two vertices?

Question

Accepted Answer

(3, −5) and (−2, −5). Side = 3 − (−2) = 5. Below the axis means y = −5, so the vertices are (3, −5) and (−2, −5). (−1 would come from 3 + (−2) = 1 used as the side.)
