The curved line crosses the X-axis at -6 and 5
The answer is the second choice.
Answer:
21 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The sides of the rectangle are aligned with the coordinate grid, so we can easily find its dimensions.
AB lies on the line y = -2, so the horizontal extent is the difference in x-values:
6 - 3 = 3
BC lies on the line x = 6, so the vertical extent is the difference in y-values:
5 -(-2) = 7
The area is the product of these two dimensions:
A = LW = (7)(3) = 21 . . . . square units
The area of the rectangle is 21 square units.
