The length of a rectangle is shown below:

On a coordinate grid from negative 6 to positive 6 on the x-axis and on the y-axis, two points A and B are shown. The point A is on ordered pair 1, 3, and the point B is on ordered pair negative 3, 3. A straight line joins the points A and B.

If the area of the rectangle to be drawn is 20 square units, where should points C and D be located, if they lie vertically below the line that connects B and A, to make this rectangle?

C(−3, −2), D(1, −2)
C(−3, −1), D(1, −1)
C(−3, −7), D(1, −7)
C(−3, −5), D(1, −5)

Answer: It would be C(-3 -1) D(1 -1). (Aka the second one)

Explanation:

The top of A and B is 4 units. If you count down five units vertically you get to -3, -1 and 1, -1. You need to count down 5 units because its asking you to get 20. So 5 x 4 = 20.
