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)

Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

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

[tex] ( - 1 , 2 ) , ( - 1 , 8 ) , ( 5 , 2 ) [/tex]

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).

The answer is b. (5,8)
