Andy is studying a quadrilateral with the vertices A(6,1).B (8,2).C(9,4), and D(7,3). Which statement explains how Andy could prove what kind of quadrilateral this is?

A. find the slopes of the pairs of opposite sides to show that the figure is a parallelogram

B. find the slopes of the pairs of opposite sides to show that the quadrilateral is a rectangle

C. find the lengths of the diagonals to show that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram

D. find the lengths of the diagonals to show that the quadrilateral is a rectangle

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

it's d

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is a. q=6,r=6√2

step-by-step explanation:

1. 16.64

a^2+b^2=c^2

pr^2=pq^2+qr^2

pr^2=14^2+ 9^2

pr^2=196+81

pr= sqr root of 277

16.64

2. 11.31

c^2-a^2=b^2

18^2- 14^2=b^2

b^2=324-196

b=sqr root of 126

b=11.31

hope it ! (btw im in connections academy to, good luck! )
