Quadrilaterals Coordinate Plane

An unknown quadrilateral has these points:

A(0,-3)

B(6,-3)

C(9,1)

D(3,1)

Based on your discoveries about the slopes of the sides, can this shape be a rectangle?

• Yes

• No

Prove that the quadrilateral with vertices at (1,2), (3,6), (7,6), and (5,2) is a rhombus using coordinate proofs.

• All four sides are congruent, so the quadrilateral is a rhombus.

• The opposite angles are equal, so it is a rhombus

• The diagonals are perpendicular, so it is a rhombus

• The sum of the interior angles is 360 degrees, so it is a rhombus

Prove that the quadrilateral with vertices at (1,2), (3,6), (7,6), and (9,2) is a trapezoid using coordinate proofs.

• The diagonals are equal in length, so the quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

• The sum of the interior angles is 360 degrees, so the quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

• All sides are equal, so the quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

• One pair of opposite sides are parallel, so the quadrilateral is a trapezoid.

Which could prove that this is a parallelogram?

• Consecutive sides have opposite reciprocal slopes

• Opposite sides have the same slope

• All sides have the same length

• Diagonals have the same length

Norman drew three points on a coordinate grid, as shown. If Norman draws a fourth point to form a parallelogram , which point could not be Norman's point ?

• ( 5,5 )

• ( 1,-1 )

• ( -1,3 )

• ( 2, -2 )

The drawing shows points  ^A,B, and ^C. At what location would you add point ^{D to create a square ?}

• ( 2,1 )

• (4,5)

• ( 5, 4 )

• ( 5, 10 )

Which of the coordinates given could be the fourth point used to form a rectangle?

• (3, -6)

• (-3, -6)

• (-6, 3)

• (4, -6)

If you think this shape is specifically a rectangle, which of the following could prove it? (Not a parallelogram, just a rectangle.) Select all that apply (refer to your PDF document!)

• All sides are congruent

• Opposite sides are parallel

• Diagonals are congruent

• Diagonals bisect each other

• Sides are perpendicular

You can prove both pairs of opposite sides are congruent in a parallelogram using the distance formula.

• True

• False
