To plot and label the points on the grid, you can use a coordinate grid with the x-axis representing the horizontal values and the y-axis representing the vertical values. Each point will be plotted as (x, y).

a. A (-7, 6): Plot a point at (-7, 6).
b. B (-2, -6): Plot a point at (-2, -6).
c. C (10, -1): Plot a point at (10, -1).
d. D (5, 11): Plot a point at (5, 11).

Next, you can connect the points to create Square ABCD. Connect point A to point B, B to C, C to D, and D back to A.

To find the side length, s, of Square ABCD, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, since Square ABCD is a square, all sides are equal.

To find the side length, you can calculate the distance between any two adjacent points using the distance formula:

d = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Using points A (-7, 6) and B (-2, -6) as an example:

d = √[(-2 - (-7))^2 + (-6 - 6)^2]
= √[(-2 + 7)^2 + (-6 - 6)^2]
= √[5^2 + (-12)^2]
= √[25 + 144]
= √169
= 13

So the side length, s, of Square ABCD is 13 feet.

To find the area of Square ABCD, you can use the area formula A = s^2, where s is the side length.

A = 13^2
= 169 square feet.
Screen Diagonal Width Height
A 15” 13”
B 22” 19”
C 32” 28”
D 40” 35”
1. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the height of each screen, and
complete the table.
2. Which screen is the largest that will fit on Yoselin’s shelf?
To calculate the height of each screen using the Pythagorean Theorem, you can use the given screen diagonal width and height.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2), where c represents the diagonal, and a and b represent the width and height respectively:

a. For screen A:
c^2 = 15^2
c = √225
c = 15 inches
Using c and the width (a) from the table, we can solve for the height (b):
15^2 = a^2 + b^2
15^2 = 13^2 + b^2
b^2 = 15^2 - 13^2
b^2 = 225 - 169
b^2 = 56
b = √56
b β‰ˆ 7.48 inches
So, the height of screen A is approximately 7.48 inches.

Performing the same calculations for the other screens:

b. For screen B:
c^2 = 22^2
c = √484
c = 22 inches
Using c and the width (a) from the table, we can solve for the height (b):
22^2 = a^2 + b^2
22^2 = 19^2 + b^2
b^2 = 22^2 - 19^2
b^2 = 484 - 361
b^2 = 123
b = √123
b β‰ˆ 11.09 inches
So, the height of screen B is approximately 11.09 inches.

c. For screen C:
c^2 = 32^2
c = √1024
c = 32 inches
Using c and the width (a) from the table, we can solve for the height (b):
32^2 = a^2 + b^2
32^2 = 28^2 + b^2
b^2 = 32^2 - 28^2
b^2 = 1024 - 784
b^2 = 240
b = √240
b β‰ˆ 15.49 inches
So, the height of screen C is approximately 15.49 inches.

d. For screen D:
c^2 = 40^2
c = √1600
c = 40 inches
Using c and the width (a) from the table, we can solve for the height (b):
40^2 = a^2 + b^2
40^2 = 35^2 + b^2
b^2 = 40^2 - 35^2
b^2 = 1600 - 1225
b^2 = 375
b = √375
b β‰ˆ 19.36 inches
So, the height of screen D is approximately 19.36 inches.

To determine which screen is the largest that will fit on Yoselin's shelf, you need to compare the heights of the screens.

Based on the calculated heights:
- Screen A has a height of 7.48 inches.
- Screen B has a height of 11.09 inches.
- Screen C has a height of 15.49 inches.
- Screen D has a height of 19.36 inches.

Therefore, the largest screen that will fit on Yoselin's shelf is screen D with a height of 19.36 inches.
