Study the coordinate plane below.
A graph with a x and y axis marking from Zero to nine. The points marked as red as (1,1),(4,3),(7,3),(8,1),(2,5),(9,5),(4,7),(7,7),(9,5),(1,8),(8,8).
A certain polygon has its vertices at the following points:
(2, 5), (4, 7), (7, 7), and (9, 5)
What is the best description of this polygon?
A.
trapezoid
B.
parallelogram
C.
rhombus
D.
pentagon
The best description of this polygon is B. parallelogram.
A parallelogram is a four-sided polygon in which opposite sides are parallel. In the given coordinate plane, if we connect the points (2, 5), (4, 7), (7, 7), and (9, 5) with straight lines, we can see that the opposite sides are indeed parallel. Therefore, this polygon is a parallelogram.
