Question 1068516: Question: What is the area, in square units, of the square with the four vertices at A(0, 0), B(-5, -1), C(-4, -6) and D(1, -5)?
My attempt: I think I can solve this problem...the only thing is that I'm not sure which vertices are adjacent to each other? It would be nice if you could explain how we choose which 2 points to work with, the formula, and how we get our answer. Thanks in Advance! Answer by josgarithmetic(39620) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Plot the points and then you will see how these vertex points are arranged and identify the sides. If this is a square, then find the distance between any two ajascent vertices, and find the square of it.
