Question

Find the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle
centered at the origin with base 2b and height 2h.

Answer 1

Hello @SkinnyMinnie20 I am not sure what your problems means by the base is = 2b
do you mean just "2" or does your lengths include variables such as "b" ?

Answer 2

I have no idea this is all the information i got

Answer 3

I will assume it is just base = 2 and height = 2 then

if you are centered on the origin (0, 0)

if you have a base of 2, that means that your rectangle goes from "1 unit" left of the origin to "1 unit" right of the origin

Answer 4

Does that make sense?

Answer 5

a little

Answer 6

what part do you not understand still? :)

Answer 7

How I would show my work

Answer 8

hmmm
if a rectangle is centered on the origin, with a base of "b" and a height of "h"
then the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle are:
\[( \frac{-b}{2}, \frac{-h}{2} ),~(\frac{-b}{2}, \frac{h}{2}),~(\frac{b}{2}, \frac{-h}{2}),~(\frac{b}{2}, \frac{h}{2})\]

Answer 9

in this case: base = 2
so base / 2 = 1

then the points are (-1, -1), (-1, 1), etc

Answer 10

okay thank you
