HELP! I will give brainliest!
Felicity is placing a rectangle in the coordinate plane. She knows that the longer side of the rectangle is 3 times its shorter side. She places the longer side on the x-axis.

What coordinates should she assign to the top-right vertex of the rectangle?

Respuesta :

since we have the coordinate (0,a) then we know that the height of the rectangle is a units. so you have to make the coordinates of the vertex (3a, a).

Let

a-------> the shorter side of the rectangle

b------> the longer side of the rectangle

we know that

[tex]b=3a[/tex]

therefore

the dimensions of the rectangle are

[tex]3a*a[/tex]

the answer is

the coordinates of the top-right vertex are [tex](3a,a)[/tex]
