Question

Three corners of a city bloc is located at (2,2) (2,-4) (-5,-4) on a coordinate plane what are the coordinates of the fourth corner

Answer 1

(-5, 2)

Explanation:

Three corners of a rectangular city block are located at (2,2), (2,-4) and (-5,-4) on a coordinate plane. What are the coordinates of the fourth Coordinate?

Solution:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angles) in which opposite sides are equal and parallel. Also, all the angles are at 90 degrees.

Since the city block is rectangular in shape, therefore the fourth coordinate would have the same y coordinate as the point (2, 2) and it would also have the same x coordinate as (-5, -4).

Hence the fourth coordinate is (-5, 2)
