a What can you say about the opposite sides of the quadrilateral? What about adjacent sides? What about the measures of the sides?
B
b Move each vertex of the quadrilateral according to the instructions and connect the translated vertices.
A
a Square
B
b (-4,5), (-4,0), (1,0) and (1,5).
Practice makes perfect
a Let's begin by plotting the vertices of the quadrilateral and connecting them.
We see that the quadrilateral has two pairs of parallel sides which makes this a parallelogram. Additionally, since one of these pairs are vertical and the other pair is horizontal, adjacent sides are perpendicular making this a rectangle. Let's also measure the length of the sides to investigate if this might be a square.
Since this quadrilateral also has four sides of equal length, this rectangle is in fact a square.
b We translate the square by moving each vertex of the square by 3 units to the left and 2 units up.
