Algebra.Com's Answer #454117 by Edwin McCravy(20077) You can put this solution on YOUR website! \"Three vertices of a parallelogram are shown in the figure below. Give the coordinates of the fourth vertex.\"\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-4,8) Top left \n" ); document.write( "(2,6) top right \n" ); document.write( "(?, ?) bottom left \n" ); document.write( "(5,-3) bottom right\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next we draw a horizontal (red) line from (2,6) left until we are directly \n" ); document.write( "below the point (-4,8):\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next we draw a vertical (red) line up to the point (-4,8):\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now observe, by counting blocks, (1) that the horizontal red line goes \n" ); document.write( "6 units left of (2,6), and that (2) the vertical line goes 2 units up \n" ); document.write( "to the point (4,8).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next, we do the same thing at the lower right point (5,-3). \n" ); document.write( "We draw a red horizontal line 6 uints left of (5,-3) and then \n" ); document.write( "2 unites upward, like this:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "By counting blocks we see that that red vertical line ended up at (1,1), \n" ); document.write( "so that's the answer. Now we can draw in the complete parallelogram:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Edwin \n" ); document.write( " |
