The coordinates of a quadrilateral are shown: • point J (–4.5, 3) • point K (–1.2, 3) • point L (–1.2, 8.7) • point M (–4.5, 8.7) Brenda claims that quadrilateral JKLM is a square. Part A Show or explain why Brenda is not correct. Enter your work or explanation in the box provided.Part BSelect new coordinates for point L and point M so that quadrilateral JKLM is a square.Show or explain all of the steps you used to determine the new locations of thetwo points.Enter your answers and your work or explanation in the box provided.

Question
Answer:
Part A
 For this case we observe that the quadrilateral is not a square because it does not have the same dimensions.
 It has two different dimensions.
 Therefore, the quadrilateral is a rectangle.

 Part B

 The difference between the horizontal coordinates of points L and M must necessarily be:
 Mx-Lx = 8.7-3
 Mx-Lx = 5.7
 Therefore choosing the coordinates we have:
 L (-1.2, 8.7)
 M (-6.9, 8.7)
