To answer your questions, let's start by plotting the points

and then analyze each set of points:

a. A(-4, 0), B(4, 0), C(0, 3)

This forms a triangle. To check for other properties, let's
calculate the side lengths and angles.

b. D(5, 14), E(-3, 8), F(17, -2)

This also forms a triangle. Calculate side lengths and angles.

c. G(-4, 2), H(-3, -5), I(3, -2), J(2, 3)

This forms a quadrilateral. To determine its properties,
calculate the lengths of all sides and angles.

d. K(-4, 5), L(8, 6), M(8, -2), N(-4, -2)

This also forms a quadrilateral. Calculate side lengths and
angles.

e. O(-1, 5), P(9, -1), Q(6, -6), R(-4, 0)

This forms a quadrilateral. Calculate side lengths and angles.

Now, let's answer your questions:

1. Which of the figures are triangles?

- Figures a and b are triangles.

2. Which among the triangles are isosceles? Provide proof.

- To determine if a triangle is isosceles, we need to check if
at least two sides have the same length. Calculate the
lengths of the sides for triangles a and b and check for
equality.

3. Which among the triangles are right? Provide proof.

- To determine if a triangle is right, we need to check if one
of the angles is a 90-degree angle. Calculate the angles for
triangles a and b and check if any of them is 90 degrees.

4. Which among the quadrilaterals is or are square/s?

Provide proof.
- Check if any of the quadrilaterals have all sides of equal
 length and all angles equal to 90 degrees.

5. Which among the quadrilaterals is or are rectangle/s?

90 degrees.

6. Which among the quadrilaterals is or are rhombus/es?

- Check if any of the quadrilaterals have all sides of equal
length.

Please provide the coordinates and lengths/angles for each

figure so that I can help you determine the specific properties
of each shape.

II. Problem Solving

1. If a cellular network’s tower located at the
coordinates (1,3) can transmit a signal to a 5-km radius,
will the person located at coordinates (7, -5) be able to
have a good signal? Provide proof and final answer.
Solution: (2 points)
To determine if the person located at coordinates (7, -5)
will have a good signal, we need to calculate the distance
between the tower at (1, 3) and the person at (7, -5). If To determine the type of triangle formed by the coordinates
this distance is less than or equal to the tower's 5-
kilometer radius, then the person should have a good
signal.
Using the distance formula, the distance between two
points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (1, 3) and (x2, y2) = (7, -5):
2. Three columns will be positioned in a lot.
The coordinates are (4,-3), (2,0), and (0,0).
a. What kind of triangle is formed? Provide proof (2 points)
and answer ( 1 point)
(4,-3), (2,0), and (0,0), we can calculate the lengths of the
three sides and then analyze their relationships.
Let's calculate the distances between these points using the
distance formula:
1. Distance between (4,-3) and (2,0):
Distance = √((2 - 4)^2 + (0 - (-3))^2)
= √((-2)^2 + (3)^2)
= √(4 + 9)
= √13

Distance = √((7 - 1)^2 + (-5 - 3)^2) 2. Distance between (2,0) and (0,0) (which is the x-axis):
Distance = √(6^2 + (-8)^2) Distance = √((0 - 2)^2 + (0 - 0)^2)
Distance = √(36 + 64) = √((-2)^2 + 0)
Distance = √100 = √4
Distance = 10 kilometers =2

The distance between the tower and the person is 10
kilometers, which is greater than the tower's 5-kilometer
radius. Therefore, the person located at coordinates (7, -
5) will not have a good signal from the tower at (1, 3).
3. Distance between (0,0) and (4,-3) (which is the same as
the first calculation):
Distance = √13
Now that we have the lengths of all three sides:
- Side AB (between (4,-3) and (2,0)) = √13
- Side BC (between (2,0) and (0,0)) = 2
- Side CA (between (0,0) and (4,-3)) = √13

Now, let's analyze the triangle:

- If all three sides are of equal length, it's an equilateral
triangle.
- If two sides have equal length, it's an isosceles triangle.
- If no sides have equal length, it's a scalene triangle.

Final Answer: No, the person at (7, -5) will not have a In this case, we can see that AB and CA have the same
good signal from the tower at (1, 3) due to the distance length (√13), while BC has a different length (2). Therefore,
exceeding the tower's coverage radius. ( 1 point) the triangle formed by these coordinates is an isosceles
 triangle.

To determine if the person located at coordinates (7, -5) will have a good signal, we need to calculate the distance between the tower at (1, 3) and the person at (7, -5). If this distance is less than or equal to the tower's 5-kilometer radius, then the person should have a good signal.
Using the distance formula, the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (1, 3) and (x2, y2) = (7, -5):
Distance = √((7 - 1)^2 + (-5 - 3)^2)
Distance = √(6^2 + (-8)^2)
Distance = √(36 + 64)
Distance = √100
Distance = 10 kilometers
The distance between the tower and the person is 10 kilometers, which is greater than the tower's 5-kilometer radius. Therefore, the person located at coordinates (7, -5) will not have a good signal from the tower at (1, 3).
Final Answer: No, the person at (7, -5) will not have a good signal from the tower at (1, 3) due to the distance exceeding the tower's coverage radius.10
