Write a coordinate proof. Prove quadrilateral KLMN, having vertices K(–5, –4), L(0, 8), M(7, 4), and N(8, –4) is not a parallelogram.

From the calculation,

KL = 13

NM = √65

Hence KL ≠ NM

Therefore, the quadrilateral KLMN is not a Parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

K(–5, –4), L(0, 8), M(7, 4), and N(8, –4)

Where we have vertices, (x1, y1) , (x2, y2)

We use the formula

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Side KL = K(–5, –4), L(0, 8)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

√(0 - (-5))² + (8 - (-4))²

√ 5² + 12²

√25 + 144

= √169

= 13

Side KN = K(–5, –4), N(8, –4)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

√(8 -(-5))² + (-4 - (-4))²

√13² + 0²

√169

=13

Side MN = M(7, 4), N(8, –4)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

√(8 -7)² + (-4 - 4)²

√1² + (-8)²

√1 + 64

√65

Side LM = L(0, 8), M(7, 4),

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

√(7-0)² + (4 - 8)²

√(49)² +(-4)²

√ 49 + 16

√65

We were asked in the above question to prove that the quadrilateral with the given vertices is not a Parallelogram.

One of the characteristics of a Parallelogram is that the opposite sides are parallel and congruent to one another. This means that, the opposite sides are similar .

For the Quadrilateral KLMN above to be a Parallelogram, this means

KL = NM

From the above calculation,

KL = 13

NM = √65

Hence KL ≠ NM

Therefore, the quadrilateral KLMN is not a Parallelogram.

chemists are often responsible for designing a chemical reaction and analyzing the products obtained from it. one significant part of designing a chemical reaction is determining the amount of each reactant that is needed and the amount of each product that will be produced. in order to do so, chemists use stoichiometry, the quantitative relationships between reactants and products.
