Question

Three vertices of a square are (-1, 2), (-1, 8), and (5,2) what is the fourth vertex of the square

A. (-5, 2)

B. (5, 8)

C. (2, 8)

D. (2, -5)

Answer 1

The answer is b. (5,8)

Answer 2

The correct answer option is B. (5, 8).

Explanation:

We are given the following coordinates of the vertices of a square and we are to find the coordinates of its fourth vertex:

`( - 1 , 2 ) , ( - 1 , 8 ) , ( 5 , 2 )`

We know that all four sides of the square are equal so the vertices are equidistant from each other.

So the fourth vertex will be (5, 8).
