Question

How does using coordinate geometry help you determine what type of quadrilateral you are looking at?

Answer 1

explain your question further. . .

Answer 2

that's all there is to the question.

Answer 3

Then simply plot the four coordinates and simply see what the shape is, if you can recognize it visually when you draw lines between the points (going around).

Answer 4

For example, what is the geometric figure from the 4 points above when I connected the dots?

Answer 5

a trapezoid

Answer 6

There are also different properties to quadrilaterals (rhombus, parallelogram, square, trapezoid, etc.) that have various characteristics which I am sure you have studied. Using the coordinates of these shapes will allow you to easily calculate whether two sides are the same, parallel (same slope), form right angles, etc.

Answer 7

gj @Relientkluver that is correct :-)
