What are ways using coordinate geometry, that I could determine that this is a trapezoid?

One method to see it's a trapezoid is to find the slope of lines BC and AD.

The slope formula is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

You should find that BC and AD both have the same slope (of -1), so that means the lines are parallel. That proves we have a trapezoid.

-----------------------

To prove this trapezoid is isosceles, you can use the distance formula

d = \sqrt{ \left(x_1-x_2\right)^2 + \left(y_1-y_2\right)^2}

to find the lengths of AB and CD (the two non-parallel sides). You should find that AB = CD.

Because AB and CD are horizontal and vertical respectively, this means you can simply count out the spaces to find that AB and CD are 3 units each. For any other rotated version of this trapezoid, use the distance formula instead.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

V = L × W × H

Where,

V = volume of the rectangular prism

L= Length

W = Width

H = Height

volume of the rectangular prism = length × width × height

Length = x

Width= length = x

Height = x - 4

V = L × W × H

= x * x * (x - 4)

= x^2 (x - 4)

= x^3 - 4x^2

V = x^3 - 4x^2

Volume of the box = x^3 - 4x^2
