Hi Taylor

Distance is positive.

You can calculate it or you can simply count them along the x and y axes parallel to your base, height, width or length. If you calculate the distance and its negative remember to use the Absolute Value of the negative number.

From top to bottom

Top one a Right Triangle QPR

base is 4 units across the bottom(RQ), and the height 6 units up(QP) Area= 1/2*(4*6) =24/2=12 square units where RQ =¦ -6-(-2)¦=¦-6+2¦ = ¦-4¦; 4, Absolute value of -4 since your line goes from -6 on the grid to -2

Next one down another Right Triangle

base is 6 units across the bottom (RQ), and the height 6 units up (RP) Area=1/2*(6*6)=36/2 = 18 square units

Next one down a Rectangle

Width across the bottom is 8 units (SR) and Vertical Length 3 units (RQ) Area = length*width = 8*3 = 24 square units

The Final one at the bottom; Try it

I got 9 square units

I hope this helps
