The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of plotting points A(2,0), B(8,0), C(8,4) and finding the coordinates of point D to complete rectangle ABCD, follow these steps: ### Step 1: Plot the points A, B, and C on the coordinate plane. - **Point A(2,0)**: This point is located 2 units along the x-axis and 0 units along the y-axis. - **Point B(8,0)**: This point is located 8 units along the x-axis and 0 units along the y-axis. - **Point C(8,4)**: This point is located 8 units along the x-axis and 4 units along the y-axis. ### Step 2: Draw the rectangle. - Connect points A and B with a horizontal line (AB). - Connect points B and C with a vertical line (BC). - Now, we need to find point D. ### Step 3: Determine the coordinates of point D. - Since ABCD is a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal. - The length of side AB (horizontal) is the difference in x-coordinates of A and B: \[ AB = x_B - x_A = 8 - 2 = 6 \] - The height of side BC (vertical) is the difference in y-coordinates of B and C: \[ BC = y_C - y_B = 4 - 0 = 4 \] ### Step 4: Find the coordinates of point D. - Point D will have the same x-coordinate as point A (which is 2) and the same y-coordinate as point C (which is 4). - Therefore, the coordinates of point D are: \[ D(2,4) \] ### Step 5: Verify the rectangle. - Now we can check the coordinates of all points: - A(2,0) - B(8,0) - C(8,4) - D(2,4) - The rectangle ABCD is formed with opposite sides equal and all angles being right angles. ### Final Answer: The coordinates of point D are **D(2,4)**. ---
