Answer 1

Explanation:

The rectangle has length 1 - (-6) = 7 and

width 3 - (-2) = 5.

So its area is 7*5 = 35 unit^2.

So to make the trapezium with 2 different y coordinates we could have the right triangle above or below the rectangle, and its area will be

45 - 35 =

10 units^2.

The base of the triangles will be 7 units long.

So area = 1/2 * base * height

So, 1/2 * 7 * h = 10

h = 10/3.5 = 2.857 units,

so the required coordinates are (-6, 3+2.857)

= -6, 5.857.

or

(-6, -2 - 2.857)

= (-6, -4.857).
