Question

Suppose a quadrilateral has the coordinate points A(2, 4), B(4, -1), C(-1, -3), and D (-3, 2). Explain why ABCD is a parallelogram. Use 2 or more complete sentences. Use the slope formula and/or the distance formula to solve the problem. Be specific in your answer.

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a quadrilateral on a graph, we use the following steps.

Step 1: Find the coordinates of the vertices from the graph.

Step 2: Apply the distance formula to find the side lengths of the quadrilateral.

Step 3: Add all the side lengths and the sum gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral.
