8. Determine the most precise name for quadrilateral PQRS.-8 -6P(-1, 1)-4 -28642-2-4-6-8Q(0, 2)R(1, 1)2S(0, -2)468

Answer 1

Answer:

$Kite$

Explanation:

Here, we want to determine the most precise name for the quadrilateral

At first sight, the image plot looks like a kite. We will have to confirm this using the properties of a kite

One of the important properties is to check that the diagonals intersect at right angles

Looking at the plot, QS and PR must be perpendicular

This is correct as they meet at right angles at the line through the origin

Also, for us to have a kite, PQ and QR must be equal

This is also correct as PQ and QR are equal in length

Furthermore, PS and RS must be equal in length

This is alo correct as the two are equal in length

We thus conclude that the quadrilateral is a kitecohis is als
