Question

A trapezoid is drawn on a grid with vertices at P (-5, 7), Q (-2, 7), R (2, 3), and S (-8, 3). Trapezoid UVWX will be drawn similar to Trapezoid PQRS with side WX corresponding to side RS. The point (8, -4) will be the location of vertex W and point (-12, -4) will be the location of point X.

What will be the coordinates of vertex V? Show all your work or explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

@bleh123 yoooooo you there?

Answer 2

@Zarkon can you help me wit this? please

Answer 3

Try graphing first one.

Answer 4

i did...

Answer 5

Then, find the distances.

Answer 6

i have the distances already....

Answer 7

a=3 , b= 5.66, c=10, d=5

Answer 8

How graph the second one.

Answer 9

And use these to find the new one.

Answer 10

can you please do it. this is the part where i am confused...

Answer 11

@saifoo.khan this is what i have so far
Well the first step I did was plot this on a graph.. The length of AB= 3, BC=5.66, CD=10, & DA=5.. Then next thing is to graph WX on the graph.. The distance between WX is 20. So since side WX corresponds to RS that means V corresponds with Q...
