Question

A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn on a coordinate grid as shown below. Megan will draw a quadrilateral MNOP similar to quadrilateral ABCD. The length of MN should be 14 and M should be located at point (1, -6). At which points will vertices N and O be located?

Answer 1

N(1, 8) and O(7, 8)

N(17, 12) and O(22, 12)

N (1, -6) and O(11, -6))

N(-6, 1) and O(-6, -11)

Answer 2

MN would be from (1,-6) to (1,8)

Answer 3

Do you know why?...

Answer 4

No

Answer 5

Ok, you're dealing with quadrilaterals that are "similar" NOT congruent. The length of AB is 7 units. Do you agree?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Because you're trying to draw ABCD to be similar to MNOP, MNOP will follow the path of ABCD, do you follow?

Answer 8

oooo ok got it. Thanks :)

Answer 9

booya! gotta give a guy his props! lol ☺

Answer 10

well deserved!
