centimeter units. Which of the following points could
also be a vertex of the square?
F. (−4, 0)
G. ( 0, 1)
H. ( 1,−1)
J. ( 4, 1)
K. ( 5, 0)
Answer: The required point that could also be a vertex of the square is K(5, 0).
Step-by-step explanation: Given that the sides of a square are 3 cm long and one vertex of the square is at (2,0) on a square coordinate grid marked in centimeter units.
We are to select the co-ordinates of the point that could also be a vertex of the square.
To be a vertex of the given square, the distance between the point and the vertex at (2, 0) must be 3 cm.
Now, we will be suing the distance formula to calculate the lengths of the segment from the point to the vertex (2, 0).
If the point is F(-4, 0), then the length of the line segment will be
If the point is G(0, 1), then the length of the line segment will be
If the point is H(1, -1), then the length of the line segment will be
If the point is J(4, 1), then the length of the line segment will be
If the point is K(5, 0), then the length of the line segment will be
Thus, the required point that could also be a vertex of the square is K(5, 0).
