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 AFor 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)
