Example Questions
Example Question #1 : How To Find A Parallelogram On A Coordinate Plane
A coordinate plane is shown.
Ralph plotted the following points on the coordinate grid:
Point W (2, 4); Point X (3, 6); Point Y (5, 4); Point Z (6, 6)
A polygon is formed with vertices W, X, Y, and Z. Which type of polygon is formed?
Parallelogram
Square
Trapezoid
Kite
Pentagon
Parallelogram
Begin by plotting the points and connecting the vertices.
The quadrilateral that is created has two sets of parallel sides. Out of the possible answer choices, this can describe both squares and parallelograms. Because the figure does not contain right angles and the sides are not all the same length, it must be a parallelogram.
Example Question #2 : How To Find A Parallelogram On A Coordinate Plane
A coordinate plane is shown.
Ralph plotted the following points on the coordinate grid:
Point W (1, 1); Point X (7, 3); Point Y (1, 6); Point Z (7, 8)
A polygon is formed with vertices W, X, Y, and Z. Which type of polygon is formed?
Parallelogram
Hexagon
Rhombus
Trapezoid
Triangle
Parallelogram
Begin by plotting and connecting the vertices.
The quadrilateral that is created has two sets of parallel sides. Out of the possible answer choices, this can describe both rhombuses and parallelograms. Because the sides are not all the same length, it must be a parallelogram.
