Question

Draw a square with one vertex on the origin (-3, 5) and a perimeter of 20.

Answer 1

Answer:

Coordinates:

(-3, 5)

(2, 5)

(-3, 10)

(2, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter formula:

length + width + length + width

Insert known value(s):

l + w + l + w = 20

Squares must have the same value for all 4 sides, so what number × 4 will equal 20? 5.

5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20

This means coordinates will be 5 units apart:

(-3 + 5, 5) = (2, 5)

(-3, 5 + 5) = (-3, 10)

Mark these coordinates on your grid as you go to double check the shape turns becomes a square:

(2, 5 + 5) = (2, 10)

Counting between them should equal 5 units for each side: I checked using the desmos graphing calculator online.
