Question

Which of the following is the fourth vertex needed to create a rectangle with vertices located at (–5, 3), (–5, –7), and (5, –7)? (5, –3) (5, 3) (–5, 7) (–5, –3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can draw it. the points given are top left, bottom left and bottom right

This is the last point, top right.

(5,3)

Answer 2

(5, 3).

Explanation:

The fourth vertex needed to create a rectangle with vertices located at (-5, 3), (-5, -7), and (5, -7) would be (5, 3).

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides of equal length and all angles equal to 90 degrees. In this case, the given points (-5, 3), (-5, -7), and (5, -7) form three vertices of the rectangle, with the sides connecting them being the sides of the rectangle.

To complete the rectangle, we need to find the fourth vertex that would complete the right angles and equal side lengths. Among the given options, (5, 3) is the only point that would complete the rectangle, as it has the same x-coordinate as (5, -7) and the same y-coordinate as (-5, 3), and would form a right angle with these points, completing the rectangle. Therefore, the correct answer is (5, 3).
