Question

So this is a question in the "Looking Ahead" (extension) section of my homework. I have a few questions like this on the worksheet but just answering this one would help me a lot. Any help provided would honestly be great. :)

1. There is a square HJKL. The coordinates of the points are as follows H(0,2), J(2,6), K(6,4), L (4,0).

a. What is the length of each diagonal?
b. What is the slope of each diagonal?
c. Are the diagonals congruent perpendicular bisectors?

Answer 1

do you know the distance formula?

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}\] Right?

Answer 3

Yes. I would draw the square first to see which points are endpoints of diagonals.
