Which statement best describes Gerard's work? Gerard's answer is correct He found the distance from each point to the r-axis, then he added the distances. OGerard's answer is incorrect He should have found the absolute value of-4 instead of the absolute values of 3 and OCerards answer is incorrect He should have found the distance of each point from the y-axis Genids answers incorrect He should have subtracted 3 2 instead of adding 3 2. 2. 1.
