Question

What is the most precise name quadrilateral abcd with vertices a(-3,2),b(-1,4), c(4,4), and d(2,2)

a. parallelogram
b. rhombus
c. quadrilateral
d. rectangle

Answer 1

A) Parallelogram

Explanation:

We can eliminate C right away, since it is general and encompasses all the other answers. The question asks us to be precise.

Now, we should plot the points on a graph and connect the points (from a to d). Doing this reveals a parallelogram with unequal sides and non-right angles. This eliminates answers B and D, respectively. Therefore the answer is A, a parallelogram.
