5. When given the vertices of a quadrilateral, how do you determine which term is the most precise? (1 point) Responses Use distance formula to find the side lengths Use distance formula to find the side lengths Use slope formula to see if the diagonals are perpendicular Use slope formula to see if the diagonals are perpendicular Use slope formula to see if opposite sides are parallel Use slope formula to see if opposite sides are parallel Use distance formula to see if the diagonals are the same legth Use distance formula to see if the diagonals are the same legth All of the above
The most precise term to determine the properties of a quadrilateral given its vertices would be "Use distance formula to find the side lengths". This is because by using the distance formula, we can calculate the exact lengths of each side of the quadrilateral, which provides more precise information about its shape and properties. The other options mentioned, such as using the slope formula to check for perpendicular diagonals or parallel sides, may provide additional information but are not as precise as directly measuring the side lengths. The last option, "Use distance formula to see if the diagonals are the same length", is not necessary, as the diagonals of a quadrilateral are not guaranteed to have the same length.
