What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(-4,-1), B(-2,-5), C(4,-2) and D(2,2)? Parallelogram rhombus quadrilateral
So, I used the midpoint formula. M = x1 + x2/2, y1 + y2/2 AB M = (-1 + -2/2, -1 + -5/2) = (-1.5,-3) BC M = (-2 + 4/2, -5 + -2/2) = (1,-3.5) CD M = (4+ 2/2, -5 + -2/2) = (3,0) DA M = (2 + -4/2, 2 + -1/2) = (-1,0.5)
I forgot the fourth option, rectangle
is the forth option \(\huge kite\)
no
rectangle ?
there is one more step to the problem to find out but I can't figure it out
one sec I will send a picture of that page in the book
Does that help?
wait
How do you tag people on here?
@School_is_hard
oh ok thank you
well at the previous it is written in the question to find the midpoint , but in your posted question ,it is not so, so no need to find midpoint here
oh ok, so how do I find out which answer it is?
well first thing is that u should know how each figure in the options looks like see each link and the figures in there https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=parellelogram&btnG=#tbm=isch&q=parallelogram&spell=1 https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=parellelogram&btnG=#tbm=isch&q=rhombus https://www.google.com/search?biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=parellelogram&btnG=#tbm=isch&q=quadrilateral

I know what they look like. But I don't think they are wanting me to go by looks. because in the book a parallelogram would be a slope of -1, A triangle classifying isosceles, scalene, equilateral, and thing like that
quadrilateral can be any figure with four sides |dw:1420559585218:dw|
so what u think what is the answer
do u have to right a paragraph or something as long for answer
ether a quadrilateral or a rombus
i meant rhombus
no its multiple choice
\(\huge no\)
and I have two like this one
do u think in the figure the opposite sides are equal
no
it is the red figure right ?
no the green
look at the page I sent page 402 explains it
in the question the co-ordinates u gave only matches with the red figure
yes but the green is what I got from finding the midpoints
And on page 402 you have to find the midpoint then distance of the green to classify the figure
but i said earlier that u didnot need to find the midpoint here like the previous question as it is not written in the question to find the midpoint
