The vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD are A(1, -3), B(4, -3), C(4, -5), and D(-1, -5). The vertices of another quadrilateral EFCD are E(1, -7), F(4, -7), C(4, -5), and D(-1, -5). Which conclusion is true about the quadrilaterals?

The shape of the quadrilaterals is same but their areas are different.

The ratio of their corresponding sides is not equal.

The measures of the corresponding angles are different.

The angles and sides overlap when one quadrilateral is placed on the other.

Where's your graph paper?

hero · Answer

Are you guessing or did you actually do something to figure that out?

hero · Answer

You can't do it in your head. You need graph paper.

hero · Answer

They don't overlap. They just share a side.

Are you sure you used graph paper? Your answer is not correct. You seem to have guessed when I warned you not to.
