What shape is created if you connect the following points: (1,1), (5,1),(7,3), and (3,3)?
a triangle is the shape cerated
Well, it is certainly not a triangle.
If you reorder the points a bit, it should be clear:
(3,3),(7,3)
(1,1),(5,1)
A square, I beileve.
To determine the shape created by connecting the given points, we can visualize the points and connect them in the order they are given.
The given points are:
(1,1), (5,1), (7,3), and (3,3).
Let's plot these points on a graph:
- The first point (1,1) is located at the coordinate (1,1).
- The second point (5,1) is located at the coordinate (5,1).
- The third point (7,3) is located at the coordinate (7,3).
- The fourth point (3,3) is located at the coordinate (3,3).
Plotting these points on a graph, we get:
```
(1,1)--------------(5,1)
| |
| |
(3,3)--------------(7,3)
```
Now, we can connect these points in order: (1,1) to (5,1), (5,1) to (7,3), (7,3) to (3,3), and finally (3,3) back to (1,1).
The connections are:
- Connect (1,1) to (5,1).
- Connect (5,1) to (7,3).
- Connect (7,3) to (3,3).
- Connect (3,3) to (1,1).
After connecting the points, we can see that the shape created is a rectangle:
```
+--------------+
| |
|--------------|
```
Therefore, the shape created by connecting the given points is a rectangle.
