Question

Which word completely describes the polygon whose vertices are the ordered pairs (2, 3), (9, 3), (9, –2), and (2, –2)?

Answer 1

what is the y distance between (2,3) and (2,-2)

Answer 2

A.none of these
B.equiangular
C.equilateral
D.regular

Answer 3

i have no idea

Answer 4

ok from (2,3) to (2,-2) think of new york. you're on street B 3, but you have to go down to B -2 how many streets down do you go

Answer 5

*wait do you know the shape and just need to know the name

Answer 6

6?

Answer 7

i dont know any of it at all

Answer 8

yea six streets. so whats the distance between (9,3) and (9,-2)?

Answer 9

(9,6)?

Answer 10

oh wait i wasnt listening it was 5 streets not 6, but they both are 5 streets, ok
so if both lines start at y = 3 (the second co ordinates are both 3)
and both travel down together 5 points
to get to point y = -2 (the second co ordinate are both -2)
then we have a set of parallel lines

Answer 11

u there?

Answer 12

next notice how we have (2,3) and (9,3) this line is exactly the same distance as (2,-2) and (9,-2). making another set of parallel lines
now 2 sets of parallel lines that are perpendicular have 4 right corners.
so basically, we have a polygon with 4 corners, a width of 7, and a height of 5
what shape does this describe
