Question

There are three hallways at Wilson Middle School, as represented in the coordinate plane below. Four points are plotted on the coordinate plane to represent the end of each hallway.

Part B
The Wilson Middle School flagpole is 28 meters to the right of point D. Give the coordinates of the point that represent the location of the school's flagpole.

​

Answer 1

The coordinates are (50, 103)

Explanation:

The three hallways are AB, BC, CD.

The co-ordinate of D is (50, 75).

The school's flagpole is 28 meters right of the point D.

Hence the y-coordinate for the flagpole will be same as D, that is 75.

The x-coordinate will be (28 + 75) = 103.

The location of the school's flagpole will be represented by (50, 103)
