Question

Felicity is placing a rectangle in the coordinate plane. She knows that the longer side of the rectangle is 3 times its shorter side. She places the longer side on the x-axis.

What coordinates should she assign to the top-right vertex of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Enter your answer in the boxes.The top-right vertex of the rectangle is:
(3a , a)

Answer 2

(3a,a)

Explanation:

As you know the component on the X vertex is the first that is represented when setting point coordenates, and the second value is in the Y vertex, as you can see the value for Y is a, and in the problem says that the longer side is three times the short side, since the Y vertex is the short side, that means the X vertex will have the longer side, making it 3a. So the coordenates will be (3a,a).
