The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4)
@amistre64
parallelogram rhombus square rectangle
i say we center it at the origin to find out
the center is currently at -1,6, so lets +1 -6 to all the points
(−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) 1 -6 1 -6 1 -6 1 -6 ---------------------------- -4,0 0,2 4,0 0,-2 since we are not consistent all the way about the origin, it cant be a square

any ideas?
when i grapes it mines looks like a parallelogram or a rhombus
i don't know how do know what shape it is
i cant recall the definition of a rhombus ... is it a squashed square?
equal sides but no 90 degree angles maybe?
all i know is that its a sideway square
like a diamond
a square is a special type of rhombus
i think this is a rhombus
why?
how do u know
i thought it was a parallelogram
parallelagram would be accurate, but not 'the most accurate' a parallelagram in general has parallel sides, but side lengths need not be constant.
a parallelagram with equal side lengths is a rhombus
a rhombus with 90 degree angles is a square
how r u sure that they are equal?
a parallelagram with 90 degree angles is a rectanlge, and a rectangle with equal sides is a square ....
because we have 4 equal triangles of legs 2,4
