A quadrilateral LMNO is drawn on a coordinate grid as shown below.

Sean will draw a quadrilateral PQRS similar to quadrilateral LMNO. The length of QR should be 6 units and Q should be located at point (1, 5). At which points will vertices P and S be located?

Do you have a clue how to start this problem?

anonymous · Answer

No @Hero I had to skip this lesson and now I'm having trouble working through the problems with it.

anonymous · Answer

Distance formula?

hero · Answer

There's more than just the distance formula to apply here. You shouldn't have skipped the lesson.

anonymous · Answer

I had to to finish something on time. Sacrificing one lesson to finish a whole module on time with a good grade was more important to me than getting a bad grade because it was late.

hero · Answer

Which online school is this?

hero · Answer

Oh, I see.

hero · Answer

Basically, the size of the figure has doubled.

hero · Answer

So starting at point Q = (1,5), find each other point by doubling the size of the first quadrilateral

anonymous · Answer

Oh okay, that makes perfect sense.

hero · Answer

doubling the sides*

hero · Answer

Let me know what you get for point P

hero · Answer

and point S

anonymous · Answer

Okay gotcha

hero · Answer

Before you submit your answer, let me know what you get for the coordinates of those points

anonymous · Answer

So I got P = (1, -3) and S = (11, - 3), R = (7, 5)

hero · Answer

Congratulations. You did it .

anonymous · Answer

Yay! Thanks :D That was way easier than it looked haha

hero · Answer

It's always easier than it looks.
