Question

A parallelogram has the vertices (0, 3), (3, 0), (0, -3) and (-3, 0). Determine what type of parallelogram. Find the perimeter and area.

Answer 1

Find the length of each side to start. Distance between two points \((x_1,y_1),(x_2,y_2)\) is given by \[d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 }\]

Answer 2

plot the points

Answer 3

Yes, plotting the points will help you identify the precise form you have.

Answer 4

so its a rhombus right?

Answer 5

you can be more specific @cwright150

Answer 6

might you be able to specify what it is then. i thought it was just a rhombus

Answer 7

Answer 8

a diamond?

Answer 9

PLot the points

Answer 10
