Question 2 (Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) (06.05 MC) The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(6, 7), B(4, 2), C(1, 5), and D(3, 8). ABCD is reflected across the x-axis to form PQRS. What is the length of diagonal PR? ANSWER IN SQUARE UNITS HELP PLEASE

OpenStudy (jack1):

all you need is the point a and the point c

OpenStudy (jack1):

diagonal of ac = length of diag of pr

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay then how do I set up a problem?

OpenStudy (jack1):

|dw:1371234241798:dw|

OpenStudy (jack1):

h^2 = a^2 + b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so I.. do 6/5?

OpenStudy (jack1):

A (6, 7), C (1, 5) x1, y1 x2, y2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this x1+y1= x2+x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh wait I have that wrong, I'm sorry but i'm so clueless about geometry

OpenStudy (jack1):

h^2 = a^2 + b^2 a = x2 - x1 b = y2 - y1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay and you do A/b?

OpenStudy (jack1):

all good dude

OpenStudy (jack1):

A/b...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

too bad I can't jus have you take my whole exam so I won't have to worry about geometry anymore:/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like hold on let me get the answer possibilities

OpenStudy (jack1):

pythag theorum concerning right angled triangles \[h^2 = a^2 + b^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

squared 37 units squared 19 units squared 82 units squared 29 units

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok, now pick your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h2= a2+b2 so h2= (4-6)2+ (2-7)2

OpenStudy (jack1):

almost... where did u get the 4 and the 2 from tho...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2 and y2?

OpenStudy (jack1):

for the point C... what are the coordinates for C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1,5)

OpenStudy (jack1):

so x2 is 1 and y2 is 5

OpenStudy (jack1):

(x, y) (1, 5)

OpenStudy (jack1):

so h2= ( x2 -6)2+ ( y2 -7)2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h2= 41?

OpenStudy (jack1):

no. if h2= ( x2 -6)2+ ( y2 -7)2 and x2 = 1 and y2 = 5 ...show me ur eqns so i can spot error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I showed you everything I have? I'm so lost that's why I asked for help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh wait i see my error
