To plot the vertices of a rectangle on a coordinate plane, we need to know the coordinates of each vertex. A rectangle has four vertices, with opposite sides being parallel and equal in length.
Let's say the three vertices given are A(1,2), B(1,5), and C(4,5). We can plot these points on a coordinate plane to visualize the rectangle.
First, plot point A(1,2):
Next, plot point B(1,5):
Finally, plot point C(4,5):
To complete the rectangle, we need to find the fourth vertex. Since opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel, we can calculate the fourth vertex by finding the midpoint of segment AC and using it to construct the fourth vertex.
The midpoint of segment AC is located at ((1+4)/2, (2+5)/2) = (2.5, 3.5).
Plot the fourth vertex, D(2.5,3.5):
Now, connect the vertices to form the rectangle.
