Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points:

a) (-2, 2)

b) (-2, -4)

c) (2, -4)

To complete the rectangle the other point must be (2, 2), so the rectangle formed has the following dimensions:

x: distance in the x-direction (from -2 to 2):

[tex]x = 2 - (-2) = 4[/tex]

y: distance in the y-direction (from -4 to 2):

[tex]y = 2 - (-4) = 6[/tex]

The area of the rectangle is:

[tex] A = x*y = 4*6 = 24 [/tex]

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 24.

I hope it helps you!
