Is the area of this 36 (2, 8),

(2, 2), (-4, 2), and (-4, 8).

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

side 1

(2,8) to (2,2)

8-2 = 6 (length of this side)

side 2

(2,2) to (-4,2)

2 - (-4) = 6

side 3

(-4,2) to (-4,8)

8-2 = 6

side 4

(-4,8) to (2,8)

2 - (-4) = 6

* note: it doesn't matter the order of subtraction because length can't be negative (so just make sure your answer is positive), also don't subtract the side that is constant, you will get 0, a side can not be 0 cm

to find the area of a square multiply length by width

6 x 6 = 36
