Question

A square on a coordinate plane has one vortex at (-0.5, -2) and a perimeter of 10 units. If all the vertices are located in quadrant III, what are the coordinates of the other three vertices

Answer 1

Explanation:

each side of square=10/4=2.5

because all the vertices are in quarter |||

so all the coordinates are negative.

x coordinate=-0.5-2.5=-3

y coordinate=-2-2.5=-4.5

all the coordinates are (-3,-2) ,(-0.5,-2)

and (-3,-4.5),(-0.5,-4.5)
