Answer:

Correct answer: D = (1, 2) ; A = 16 units²

Explanation:

Given:

A (1, - 2), B (5, -2), C (5, 2) D (?, ?)

If the square is drawn in the Descartes coordinate system, the coordinates are of the fourth vertex D (1, 2)

If we subtract the coordinates on the x axis

5 - 1 we get side of the square a = 4

The formula for the area of a square is:

A = a²

A = 4² = 16 units²

A = 16 units²
