I've tried to do midpoint formula to see distance to try to see where the missing coordinate is, and I did slope formula. Nothing worked.

have you drawn it out?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:14 AM

#

#

I kept getting weird square roots for the distance

#

To solve for D

#

So idk what I’m doing wrong

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

snow salmon So idk what I’m doing wrong

what does "parallelogram" mean to you?

#

i.e., what are the properties?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:15 AM

#

a quadrillateral with parallel sides

#

Equal opposite angles and sides

#

and supplementary consecutive angles

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

snow salmon and supplementary consecutive angles

yes

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

Can't really do angles on paper sp

#

so

#

Mostly equal sides on opposite sides

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

but what is the length of AB?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

and that they're parallel

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

hollow flame but what is the length of AB?

Where is that

#

oh

#

Like the distance?

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:16 AM

#

yes, sorry

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

uhm

#

sqrt 72

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

that, and the length of BC.

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

snow salmon sqrt 72

yes

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:17 AM

#

sqrt 95 for BC

#

oh

#

so its not equal

#

for the opposite sides

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

snow salmon sqrt 95 for BC

?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

whatg

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

im pretty sure that BC is a horizontal line.

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:19 AM

#

8- -1 is -9 square is 81 + -2 +2 which is 0

#

oh

#

its 9

#

the answer is sqrt 81

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:20 AM

#

snow salmon its 9

prefer this

#

anyways

#

try to make AD=9

#

that would be the first solution

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

how

#

you cant " try "

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

snow salmon how

because opposite sides are equal, remember?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

the distance is sqrt 45

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

snow salmon you cant " try "

im saying that instead of "suggest"

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:21 AM

#

snow salmon the distance is sqrt 45

D is any point in Quadrant I that fits the requirements.

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:22 AM

#

oh did you make a bisector

#

B to C

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:22 AM

#

snow salmon B to C

no.

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

wdym

#

is it not a bisector

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

snow salmon is it not a bisector

ill show you what i have on my screen.

#

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:24 AM

#

oh dang

#

My drawing was way off

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

snow salmon My drawing was way off

its fine.

#

but you see what i mean now, right?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:25 AM

#

yeah'

#

its not a bisector

#

from my drawing it looked like it

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:26 AM

#

so choose that D first, that makes AD=9

#

since BC=9

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

i cant really picture that

#

i dont really get what like

#

its asking at all

#

like

#

Am I solving angles across??? idk

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:30 AM

#

snow salmon Am I solving angles across??? idk

no

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

and

#

How can D be in quad 1

#

like idk what D would be attached to

#

CD

#

BD

#

AD

#

like

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

snow salmon How can D be in quad 1

because D would be 9 units to the right of A.

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:31 AM

#

Then how would it be in quad 1

#

waitg

#

How do you know its 8 right

#

What about 8 left

hollow flame Dec 6, 2024, 3:32 AM

#

would that be in Q1?

snow salmon Dec 6, 2024, 3:45 AM

#

no

#

oh so that tells us

#

it has to be 8 right in Q1

#

9 right

#

so (5,13)

#

wait

#

(13,4)

#

(14,4)

#

ooh I get it now

#

thanks
