I made a number line and drew it out -6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2 and i counted how many i had to move over to get to 2 from -6 and i got 8
This shows (5,2) on a graph
Note that one side is 20 ft, and the other is 16.
This means that the side that is part of the triangle is 4 ft.
The measurement is still the same for the triangle's height.
Find the area of the rectangle:
24 x 16 = 384
Find the area of the triangle:
4 x 24 = 96
Add the two numbers together:
384 + 96 = 480
You're answer is (C)
hope this helps
