HELP!!!

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

@JupitersRing01

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

I think this is the hardest, well at least to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seems pretty difficult, but nothing math can't solve!

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

Horray for Math!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's how I think of it: Imagine the shape is a coordinate plane. PQRS is a square, correct? What I see are four little triangles in the center. When you flip the corners open, imagine that we're reflecting the triangles across the axis. So, it's a reflection. When a rectangle has four triangles lined up along the sides, it appears to be a rhombus. I believe that was a pretty decent explanation, but put it in your own words O.O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way, let's dub the point of intersection (where all the lines meet) T. So the center is T.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

yeah, and B A C & D went to the center right

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

in the folded one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

so how do i explain it was folded?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hm... It's difficult to explain... I guess just imagine SR is a line. Reflect STR over SR and you get SDR.

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

P Q S & R are still in the same place but when it's folded A B C & D go in the center but it does not show them in the folded one because they are in the center and the center can only have one point

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

is that correct???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That sounds about right. @mathmale, what do you think about that?

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

that took me forever to think of

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol, but I think you got it. Great job! :)

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

YAY!!! and a medal will awarded to Ringyist plant here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much @skittles_for_life6422. I wish you luck! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Weird enough though, my image doesn't have a ring! O.O

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

PSST @jupitersRing01 (give @mathmale a medal) :) WHAT!!! No Ring O>O ---

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Say something @mathmale! xD

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):

its ok if he doesn't what to

OpenStudy (skittles_for_life6422):
