Regardless of the sign of

, we have

(never negative). But multiplying by -1 makes it negative.
On the other hand,

which can never be negative for real

.
Answer:
270
Step-by-step explanation:
Area = length × width
Step 2 is wrong and i don't know the other question
Answer:
Area = 406
Step-by-step explanation:
First things first: Divide the shape
Here is how I did it:
21 x 16
14 x 5
Now solve:
21 x 16 = 336
14 x 5 = 70
Now add:
336 + 70 = 406
So the area is 406
slope = rise over run = y/x
A (-1,3) slope = 3/-1 = -3
B (1,2) slope = 2/1 = 2
C (-3,-1) slope = -1/-3 = 1/3
2 lines need to be negative reciprocals in order to be a right triangle
negative reciprocal of -3 is 1/3
so this is a right triangle
