Question

Micah uses the coordinate grid to draw a rectangle. Three verticles of the rectancle are (-4, 5),(-4,3) and (6,5). What are the coordinates of the fourh vertex? show micahs rectangles on the coordinate grid

Answer 1

(6, 3)

Explanation:

We already have two coordinates that make one side of the rectangle up.

(-4, 5) and (-4, 3)

Notice how only the y-coordinates change.

So, based on this logic, we should get:

(6, 5) and (6, 3)

So, the missing coordinate is (6,3)

Answer 2

(6,3) is the missing 4th vertex.

Explanation:

We know that, a rectangle is made up of 4 sides , 4 vertices and 4 edges.

According to the question, there are 3 vertices marked.

The three vertices are:

• (-4,5)
• (-4,3)
• (6,5)

IMPORTANT NOTE

If we are measuring the sides of a quadrilateral on a coordinate grid, we have to remember that each and every point comes twice in adjacent sides.

For example:

In the given figure, (-4) and 5 appeared twice in the three given vertices.

Now, we should remove (-4) and 5 from the three vertices.

We will be left with 6 and 3.

So, the 4th point will be the combination of 6 and 3.

Hence, we will get the 4th point as (6,3).

Hope my answer helps you ✌️
