A triangle with vertices located at (-2, - 2) and (4, - 2) has an area of 24 square units. Which is one possible location of the other vertex?

To find the other possible location, you can find the distance between the two ordered pairs that are given.

From (-2, - 2) (4, - 2), there is a distance of 6 units. We can see this with the X values. From - 2 to 4 on a number line is 6 units.

To create a triangle with 24 square units, you will need to think of creating a space that is 48 square units if it were the shape of a rectangle.

6*8 = 48, and half of that, the area of the triangle, would be 24 square units.

Eight units on the Y axis from (-2, - 2), would be (-2, 6).

One possible location is (-2, 6).
