Question

If the coordinates of a quadrilateral composed in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane are (0,0) (a, b), (a + c, b), and (c, o), which is the most accurate classification of the quadrilateral?

A. Trapezoid
B. Rectangle
C. Parallelogram
D. Square

Answer 1

Suppose that a= 1
B=2
C=3
O=4
Plot the coordinates on a panel grid and see the shape and then you should be able to determine the classification of the shape use GeoGebra to plot the coordinates above. And let me know what do you notice

Answer 2

It can't be B or D. Because the sides for those should be congruent. And using the distance formula I found that they actually not

Answer 3

I meant C or D

Answer 4

Oh okay I have to leave, I will be back and reply. Thank you :)

Answer 5

Yw

Answer 6

So what would it be @Will.H

Answer 7

@mathstudent55 Can you maybe figure this out? I have to go pretty soon though. If you could tell me weather its C or D that would be great.

Answer 8

Is the last point (c, o) or (c, 0)?

Answer 9

We know exactly where (0, 0) is, so we plot it.

Answer 10

Now we use the scale, and we plot (a, b).
