Question

The longer base of an isosceles trapezoid joins points (-3, -2) and (7, -2). One endpoint of the shorter base is (-1, 4). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

Can you explain how to figure this out please.

Answer 1

(5,4)

Explanation:

We have that the longer base of an isosceles trapezoid joins points (-3, -2) and (7, -2), and one endpoint of the shorter base is (-1, 4).

The best way to find the coordinates of the other endpoint is to draw or sketch the figure on a coordinate grid.

From the graph in the attachment the coordinates of the other endpoints is (5,4).
