1. A square garden has the ends points listed below. Plot and label these points on the grid: a. A(-7,6) b. B(-2,-6) c. C(10,-1) d. D(5,11)

7 answers

To plot the points of the square garden on the grid, we can take the given coordinates and mark them accordingly.

Here's how the points are:

  • A(-7, 6)
  • B(-2, -6)
  • C(10, -1)
  • D(5, 11)

Steps to plot the points:

  1. Point A (-7, 6):

    • Move 7 units to the left on the X-axis and 6 units up on the Y-axis. Mark this point as A.
  2. Point B (-2, -6):

    • Move 2 units to the left on the X-axis and 6 units down on the Y-axis. Mark this point as B.
  3. Point C (10, -1):

    • Move 10 units to the right on the X-axis and 1 unit down on the Y-axis. Mark this point as C.
  4. Point D (5, 11):

    • Move 5 units to the right on the X-axis and 11 units up on the Y-axis. Mark this point as D.

Now let's visually describe the grid:

  1. X-Axis:

    • Left of the origin (0,0) represents negative values (from -12 to -1).
    • Right of the origin represents positive values (from 1 to 12).
  2. Y-Axis:

    • Below the origin represents negative values (from -12 to -1).
    • Above the origin represents positive values (from 1 to 12).

Labeling on the Grid:

  • After plotting those points, label each with their corresponding letter (A, B, C, D).

2. Connect the points to create square ABCD.

To connect the points A, B, C, and D to form square ABCD, we need to establish the order of the points based on their positions. From the coordinates provided, it appears the points do not naturally form a square based on the standard geometric definition. Instead, they can be connected in a way that creates either a non-square quadrilateral or potentially a shape that resembles a square more closely based on the relative positions.

Let’s clarify the points again based on their coordinates:

  • A(-7, 6)
  • B(-2, -6)
  • C(10, -1)
  • D(5, 11)

Plotting Steps:

  1. Place the points on the grid as described previously:
    • A at (-7, 6)
    • B at (-2, -6)
    • C at (10, -1)
    • D at (5, 11)

Connecting Points:

To visualize the connections:

  1. Connect point A to point D.
  2. Connect point D to point C.
  3. Connect point C to point B.
  4. Finally, connect point B to point A.

Resulting Connections:

While the connections may visually appear like a polygon, they will not form a perfect square. They will still form a quadrilateral based on the points you've provided.

Here’s the order you would connect them:

  • A → D
  • D → C
  • C → B
  • B → A

Connecting the Points:

  • Draw a line segment from A to D.
  • Draw a line segment from D to C.
  • Draw a line segment from C to B.
  • Draw a line segment from B back to A.

Conclusion:

This will create a quadrilateral connecting the points but will not form a perfect square based on the coordinates provided. If these points were intended to form a specific shape, please ensure the points are correct for a square or provide more details for adjustment or clarification!

3. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the side length, s, of square ABCD in feet.
S=_____feet

To use the Pythagorean theorem to find the side length \( s \) of square ABCD, we first need to determine a pair of adjacent points from the list given and calculate the distance between them.

Given Points:

  • A(-7, 6)
  • B(-2, -6)
  • C(10, -1)
  • D(5, 11)

Determine Side Length:

For a square, the sides should be equal. Let's calculate the distance between two adjacent points. We can use Points A and B or any pair you choose.

Distance Formula:

The distance \( d \) between two points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) is given by the formula:

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

Calculating Distance (Using Points A and B):

  • A(-7, 6) and B(-2, -6)
  • \(x_1 = -7, y_1 = 6\)
  • \(x_2 = -2, y_2 = -6\)

Plugging the values into the distance formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{((-2) - (-7))^2 + ((-6) - 6)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{(-2 + 7)^2 + (-6 - 6)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (-12)^2} \] \[ = \sqrt{25 + 144} \] \[ = \sqrt{169} \] \[ = 13 \]

Conclusion:

The side length \( s \) of square ABCD is \( s = 13 \) feet.

So, the answer is: \( S = 13 \) feet.

4. Use the area formula, A=s^2, to find the area of square ABCD.
A=_____feet^2

To find the area \( A \) of square ABCD, we can use the area formula for a square, which is:

\[ A = s^2 \]

Given:

  • The side length \( s = 13 \) feet (from our previous calculation).

Calculating the Area:

\[ A = (13)^2 = 169 \]

Conclusion:

The area of square ABCD is:

\[ A = 169 \text{ feet}^2 \]

So, the answer is: \( A = 169 \) feet².
