What you need to do is state the question exactly as it is written from where you got it from.Quote:

Without more context though, your qeustion cannot be answered.
I assume you are looking for the corners of the rectangle.
This should work, if you are solving the right pairs of equations. If you post your attempt and the exact question we may be able to help you further.Quote:

If you haven't seen double integrals before, you can also do this by finding the lengths of 2 adjacent sides (after you have the corners) using the normal formula and multiply them together.
