Given: One vertex is at (-1,-2) and sides of rectangle are parallel to axes)
Question: Area of the rectangle = ?
Statement 1: One of the vertices of the rectangle is (2, -2).
This information gives us only one side of the rectangle which is 3 units long (Distance between (-1,-2) and (2,-2)
Since the other adjacent side of the rectangle is unknown hence
NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: One of the vertices of the rectangle is (2, 3)
This statement gives us the information that the sides of rectangle are 3 (x-coordinate change from -1 to 2) and 5 (y-coordinate change from -2 to 3) units long
i.e area of rectangle = 3*5 = 15 units
SUFFICIENT
Answer: Option B
