Question

The sides of a square are 8 cm long with a vertex of the square is at (-3,1). What points could also be a vertex of the square?

Answer 1

1) Draw yourself a coordinate grid.

2) Put a point at (-3,1). Label it point A.

3) From A go up 8 units and place another point. Call it point B.

4) From B, go right 8 units, place a point and call it C.

5) Finally, from C, go down 8 units, place a point and call it D.

ABCD is a square with side lengths of 8. Points B, C, and D are other vertices. You can make other squares; in fact, you can make an infinite number. In step 3, instead of going up 8 units to point B, try going left 8 units to B. Can you find points the new points C and D?
