Question

The top-right corner of a square is at the point (3,3). If the length of each side of the square is 6 units, then the other three coordinates will be:
(Measure the sides of the square along the gridlines)

• A. (-3,3) ; (-3,-3) ; (3,-3)
• B. (-3,3) ; (-3,-4) ; (3,-4)
• C. (-4,3) ; (-4,-3) ; (4,-3)
• D. (-4,3) ; (-3,-3) ; (4,-3)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (-3,3) ; (-3,-3) ; (3,-3)

The top-right corner of the square is at (3,3).


Now, the length of each side of the square is 6 units. So, the neighbouring corners can be plotted 6 units to the left of (3,3) as well as 6 units below (3,3).


Finally, the fourth corner of the square will be 6 units below (-3,3) and 6 units to the left of (3,-3).


Hence, the other three corners of the square are: (-3,3) ; (-3,-3) ; (3,-3)
