This problem is one that I have in my geometry book, and the book and my answers disagree.
Two vertices of a square are (3, -2) and (3, 6). What are the coordinates of two pairs of points for the other vertices? a. ________ b. _________
The book says that the other points are (11, 6) and (11, -2). The ones that I believe are correct are (-5, -6) and (-5, -2)
(-5, -6) and (-5, -2) are not correct: Plotting the points (3, -2), (3, 6), (-5, -6), and (-5, -2) gives the following configuration:
However, both ((-5, 6), (-5, -2)) and ((11, 6), (11, -2)) are correct solutions: the first pair of points lies 8 units to the left of the points ((3, 6), (3, -2)), and the other pair lies 8 units to the right.
