Will someone help me please): How do i classify a quadilateral by using distance formula as well as slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look on the internet :) metal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@west_coast In all honesty i cannot find the answer...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well im only in 6th grade soo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cleats

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i have a metal for best reposne whatever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i think it depends on which type of quadrilateral you are classifying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Chibi_Robo3 I was thinking that to but that the actual question.....? Its tuff );

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really strange... are you sure this is exactly the question? maybe there's more information? or maybe you have to give explanations to some of the common quadrilaterals,... what do you think? @halorazer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Chibi_Robo3 Yes iam sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like i said this question is just ridiclious

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well to make sure you'll get this right i think you should just describe the distances and the slopes of the sides of each common quadrilateral .. like for example if two opposite sides have the same slope, and have the same distance, it will be a rhombus or a parallelogram or a rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you use the distance formula as well as slope to to classify a quadilateral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think you have to add up all the sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as I mentioned before, you have to compare the distances of each side and their slope to identify the type of quadrilateral.. another example, you know that a trapezoid has exactly one pair of parallel sides. so two sides should have the same slope and the distances of the sides may or may not be equal.. for a square two pairs of sides are parallel.. so each pair should have a common slope, while the distances should all be equal.. then blah blah.. do it with the rest of the quadrilaterals :)

Hey look it's Angie Varona on OS! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@agent0smith It is !

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

@Chibi_Robo3 seems to have answered it tho. It's a fair bit of work to list how to identify every quadrilateral... square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite...
