marry me :DDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well that was not what i was expecting

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah a bit creepy, anyways, a parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 opposite sides parallel

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this means BC || DE and CD || BE

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let me know if that's enough to get started

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so positive p for the first letter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or would it be r,q

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice how point D is completely on the same horizontal level as point C

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

therefore, point D and point C must have the same y coordinate

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

q is going to go in the y coordinate slot for the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the x coordinate is a bit tricky

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1416356830454:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1416356843237:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's start at point B and go to point C how do we do that? we go to the left p units and go up q units |dw:1416356938370:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we follow the same pattern going from E to D start at (r,0) and go left p units to get to (r-p,0) then go up q units to get to (r-p,q)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1416356989790:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so point D is the point (r-p, q)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is confusing but i think i understand

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah it's probably more confusing because of all the letters

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

try replacing the letters with numbers and see if that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that'll probably help. thank you (:
