Please Help :( The vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD are A(-7, -2), B(-3, -2), C(-4, -5), and D(-8, -5). The vertices of another quadrilateral FECD are F(-7, -8), E (-3, -8), C(-4, -5), and D(-8, -5). Which conclusion is true about the quadrilaterals? Their shape and size are same. They have unequal corresponding angles. They have unequal corresponding sides. They are similar figures.

Is it their shape and size are same?

one sec while I plot this into geogebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Idk if I am right and I kinda hope I am. I accidently closed question :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you are correct, do you have geogebra? If so, I can send you what I got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do not. I cannot download anything on my computer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if not, it's basically the second figure is a reflection over one of the sides

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

a reflection preserves the size, shape, and area, which is why the first one is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yay! I am happy I got it correct. Thank you so much!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok I'll take a screenshot, one sec

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

see attached and you'll see the reflection I'm talking about

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's what you would see if you plotted each set of points and connected the points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh Okay. Thank you :D

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you're welcome
