Question

1. The points ( − 4, − 4), ( − 4, 4), (4, 4), and (4, − 4) form a square on a coordinate plane. How long is a side length of the square

Answer 1

Length of one side is 8 units

Explanation:

Given

The centre of this square is positioned at the origin as visible form the four co-ordinates

All the four co-ordinates are such that they are 4 units along the x-axis and 4 units along the y-axis.

Let us take the following two co-ordinates - (4,4),(4,−4). The X value for these two co-ordinate points is 4 and the Y values are such that one point has y = 4 and the other has y = -4 i.e 8 units in between.

Thus, length of one side is 8 units.
