Point A and Point D have the same second coordinate, and ABCD is a quadrilateral. Line segment AD is 3 cm in length. What coordinates does Point D need to be plotted at to make this statement true? (−2, 4)

Question

Point A and Point D have the same second coordinate, and ABCD is a quadrilateral. Line segment AD is 3 cm in length. What coordinates does Point D need to be plotted at to make this statement true? (−2, 4)

left parenthesis negative 2 comma 4 right parenthesis

(6, −4)
left parenthesis 6 comma negative 4 right parenthesis

(4, −6)
left parenthesis 4 comma negative 6 right parenthesis

(−6, 4)

Answer 1

actually, since we have no information about A's coordinates, we cannot answer the question.

Answer 2

You are correct. Without additional information about Point A's coordinates, we cannot determine the exact coordinates for Point D. Thank you for pointing that out.

Answer 3

Point A and Point D have the same second coordinate, and ABCD is a quadrilateral. Line segment AD is 3 cm in length. What coordinates does Point D need to be plotted at to make this statement true? (−2, 4)

You are correct. Without additional information about Point A's coordinates, we cannot determine the exact coordinates for Point D. Thank you for pointing that out.

Point D needs to be plotted at (-2, 4) in order to have the same second coordinate as Point A and make the statement true.
