What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(-4,-4), B(-4,-2), C(-1,-2), and D(-1,-4) A: rhombus B:quadrilateral C:rectangle D:parallelogram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am guessing rectangle......you might want to get a second opinion....graphs are not my best subject.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, just draw it first :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I drew it and it looks like a rectangle

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm, can we see the picture? :)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it's a rectangle anyway, you're correct but lemme show you 2 rectangles|dw:1372010362594:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

which one does your resemble? the one on the left, or the one on the right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it's also a PARALLELOGRAM too btw

|dw:1372010079359:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, off the 2 above, which ones does your resemble?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ahemm one sec

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

mine looks like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, you see, I can understand you see that as the one on the right-hand-side but that'd occur if your cartesian plane x-axis and y-axis aren't equal in proportion

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, to get the picture, make sure your x-axis has the same values as the y-axis, so if you have 10 units over the x-axis, you should also have 10 units over the y-axis, otherwise the picture gets disproportional

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

it's a parallelogram, it has 2 sides parallel to each other and is also a rectangle, yes, it has 4 right-angles, but all sides are equal, so more PRECISELY is a quadrilateral 2 parallel sides to each other all have \(90^o\) angles all sides are equally long
