Question

Given that the points (-3, 2) and (1, 2) are vertices of a square, what two sets of coordinates could form the other two vertices?

Answer 1

The given points have the same Y value.

Find the distance between the X values -3 to 1 is 4 units.

All sides of a square are the same length so the other points must be 4 units away.

Add 4 units to the Y values:

(-3,2) = (-3,(2+4)) = (-3,6)

(1,2) = (1,(2+4)) = (1,6)

Two other points to make a square could be (-3,6) and (1,6)
