Question

Nancy drew parallelogram ABCD as shown.

On the same grid she will draw parallelogram PQRS similar to parallelogram ABCD with the ratio of corresponding side lengths PQ and AB equal to 2 : 1. If the coordinates of vertex P are (-4, 4), what could be the coordinates of vertex Q?

Answer 1

Coordinates for the image:
A(2,3), B(5,3) C(7,5), D(4,5)

Answer 2

@binary3i, @FoolForMath, @bleh123, @experimentX if any of you are not busy can you help me with this please<3 NO downloadings :)

Answer 3

try drawing a figure !!

Answer 4

I DID! now what??

Answer 5

Ah ... i was expecting you to draw figure here.

Answer 6

oh... haha I'm retarded

Answer 7

whats next?

Answer 8

-8, 8)
(-4, 10)
(2, 4)
(8, 3)
These were the choices given..

Answer 9

what is the length of AB??

Answer 10

3..

Answer 11

PQ must be 6

Answer 12

(-4,4) --- (2,4) ---- (-10,4)
(-4,4) --- (-4, 10) ---(-4, -2)
they all give length 6, which do you think you should choose??

Answer 13

they all give the same length?? then i have no idea..

Answer 14

just note how is AB ... vertical or horizontal??
similarly choose PQ

Answer 15

do you know which one i should choose?

Answer 16

please tell me. i really have no idea.. :/

Answer 17

plot AB in graph ... tell me if this is vertical or horizontal

Answer 18

@Blahh23 you still there?? i gotta go ... let's finish this fast

Answer 19

its horizontal

Answer 20

sorry my computer FROZE.. :/ my bad

Answer 21

PQ must be horizontal too ..

which is horizontal??
(-4,4) --- (2,4) ---- (-10,4) <--- this one
(-4,4) --- (-4, 10) ---(-4, -2) <--- or this one??

also if you get your answer ... don't forget to check length

Answer 22

what does the length need to be 6 ?? so it has to be horizontal and have a length of 6.. correct?

Answer 23

yes
because PQ:AB = 2:1
so PQ must be double of AB ... and must be in same direction has AB (either horizontal or vertical)

Answer 24

i guess you got your answer ... gotta go!!

Answer 25

haha okay:) thanks
