IMPORTANT: For geometry Data Sufficiency questions, we are typically checking to see whether the statements "lock" a particular angle, length, or shape into having just one possible measurement.
This technique can save a lot of time.
Target question: What is the area of rectangular region MNRS?
Let's jump straight to . . .
Statements 1 and 2 combined
The COMBINED statements tell us that the rectangle's height = 4
Notice that neither statement locks in the location of points R and S. This means that the rectangle can have ANY width.
As such we cannot determine the area of rectangular region MNRS
Answer: E

Hello Brent,
Thanks for your reply, can you please help me understand how you deduced height to be 4 ?
I am still unable to figure out that seems missing something.
