A rectangle is a four sided flat shape where every interior is a right angle. Therefore, opposite sides are parallel and consecu

tive sides are perpendicular. Rae is drawing rectangle PQRS on a coordinate plane. The rectangle has cord images P(-1,2), Q(2,4), R(x,y), and S(3,-4).

Answer:

coordinates of R(x,y) is R(6,-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given the coordinates of rectangle PQRS as: P(-1,2), Q(2,4), R(x,y), and S(3,-4).

We know the slope formula:

Slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}    

Now, by applying slope formula

Slope of PQ = \frac{4-2}{2-(-1)}    

                    = \frac{2}{3}

Slope of RS = \frac{-4-y}{3-x}    

Slope of QR = \frac{y-4}{x-2}  

 We know that, slopes of PQ and RS are equal because these are parallel to each other.

Slope of PQ = Slope of RS

\frac{2}{3} =  \frac{-4-y}{3-x}    

2(3-x) = 3(-4-y)

6-2x = -12-3y

2x-3y = 18...........equation(1)

Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocal. Therefore,  

Slope of PQ = \frac{-1}{slope \ of \ QR}

\frac{2}{3} =\frac{-1}{\frac{y-4}{x-2} }

\frac{2}{3} = \frac{-x+2}{y-4}

On cross multiplication,

2(y-4) = 3(-x+2)

2y-8 = -3x+6

3x+2y = 14.............equation(2)

Now, multiplying equation(1) by 2 and equation(2) by 3 and then equations are adding..

So,   4x-6y=36

       9x+6y=42

________________

13x=78

x=6

Putting the value of x in equation(2)

18+2y=14

2y=-4

y=-2

So, coordinates of R(x,y) is R(6,-2).

The coordinates for point R will be (-1, -6). This is because a rectangle has opposite sides and as you plot your rectangle with these defines points along with that of R, you will be able to successfully achieve a perfect rectangle.

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

160°

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I am doing it may not be the correct way but it works. What I did was take 90° away from 120° to make it 30° as if there is a line. I did this so I could make a triangle. Using the triangle addition postulate, I Added 30 to 80  to get 110 than subtracted that from 180 to get 70. Lastly, i added 90°  to 70°  to get 160°

Hope this helped you get the answer :)
