Parallelogram FGHI on the coordinate plane below represents the drawing of a horse trail through a local park.

In order to build a scale model of the trail, the drawing is enlarged on the coordinate plane. If two corners of the trail are at point A (-2, 7) and point D (-10, -1), what is another point that could represent a corner of the trail?

(14, 7)

(10, 7)

(12, 7)

(8, 7)

Maybe. The real question is, do you have an approach to this?

dariyana · Answer

yeah i kow tht it not 10,7 and i dont reall know what i did but i think its12,7

hero · Answer

What steps have you performed to attempt solving this?

dariyana · Answer

lol tht the thing i forgot wht i did

hero · Answer

If you can't remember how you got there, then maybe you never knew how to get there to begin with.

dariyana · Answer

well then can you just help me

hero · Answer

Hint: Find the scale factor

dariyana · Answer

wht is tht

hero · Answer

The ratio of the first figure to the second figure

dariyana · Answer

ok

dariyana · Answer

and thrn what do  do

hero · Answer

Notice that FI corresponds with AD. You have to find how much bigger AD is compared to FI. In order to do that you have to find the lengths of both. Use pythagorean theorem to find the lengths.

hero · Answer

@dariyana, are you still here?

dariyana · Answer

yes

hero · Answer

Have you found the lengths yet?

dariyana · Answer

i just suck a** at the subject and iam on flvs taking a quiz an  have trouubling getting the answer

hero · Answer

I'm sorry to hear that

dariyana · Answer

it ok i just need you to help me get the answer

hero · Answer

What's interesting is, you stated earlier that you don't believe (10,7) is one of the points. Why did you say that?

dariyana · Answer

i dont know iam just confused and i been at the computer for 5 hours so my eyes are  hurting lol but i only have two more qeustion on my quiz and i came her to get really quick answer because iam sleepy so i was hoping tht you could give me the ansers please @Hero
