Question

A scale drawing of a storage box on a coordinate grid shows a square with the points (3, -1) and (4, 4) as the locations of two adjacent vertices.

Which pair of coordinate points could represent the other two vertices?

Answer 1

(8, -2) and (10, 3)

(8, -2) and (9, 4)

(-2, 0) and (-1, 5)

(-2, 0) and (8, -2)

Answer 2

@AccessDenied can you help me with this plz

Answer 3

It seems like a really tedious problem.
I would probably plot all four cases to see if any cases are obviously not square, and then you may just have to test the sides being equal using distance formula....

Answer 4

and i really still dont get it, sigh* i think i'll just leave it alone

Answer 5

Basically, we're told that they have a square plotted on the coordinate grid and they're asking what other two points would finish it.

Of course, to figure out which points would make a square, we have to recall the properties of a square and test that those properties apply to the points.

Answer 6

well i know the properties of a square but thats about it

Answer 7

Here's the graph for each set of points.

Answer 8

D. clearly does not work, or else it's the sorriest square I've ever known.
A., if we check the slope of the original points the points in A., they are not the same -- so, they are not parallel. It is not a square.
B., same situation. The slope of the original pair of points is not the same as in B.'s

Answer 9

hey i just submit my test but i choose answer c and it was right so i guess i'll just try to see how it work from there but thanks anyways :)

Answer 10

Okay, you're welcome.

Sorry, these are really tedious problems and I always hated doing them. :P

Answer 11

yea i know :)
