Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

Firstly, what sort of shape is this?

Answer 3

Draw it out on paper if it helps, though it's fairly easy to spot

Answer 4

@tom983 i dint understand

Answer 5

@Directrix @tom982

Answer 6

This is a rhombus or a kite.

Why are there two diagrams of the same figure? Or, it this two problems?

Answer 7

HUH @Directrix

Answer 8

Find the distance from A(−2, 3), B(4, 3)

Find the distance from B(4, 3), C(4, −2)

Find the distance from C(4, −2), D(−2, 0).

Find the distance from D(-2,0) to A (-2,3).

We cannot find the area unless we know what kind of polygon this is.

Answer 9

i put to pictures on acident @Directrix

Answer 10
