And so based on just the information given, we actually can't prove congruency. Now, let me ask you a slightly different question. Let's say that we did give you a little bit more information. Let's say we told you that the measure of this angle right over here is 31 degrees, and the measure of this angle right over he...

Well, we know that AC is in both triangles, so it's going to be congruent to itself. And let me write that down. We know that segment AC is congruent to segment AC.

We can deduce that angle CAB, CAB is congruent to angle ACD, angle ACD, because they are alternate interior angles where a transversal intersects two parallel lines. So just to be clear, this angle, which is CAB, is congruent to this angle, which is ACD. And so now we have two angles and a side, two angles and a side t...

Writing equations of perpendicular lines (example 2) High School Math Khan Academy.mp3
So let's use point slope form. y minus this y value, which has to be on the line, is equal to our slope, 5 halves, times x minus this x value, the x value when y is equal to 8. And this is the equation of the line in point slope form. If you want to put it in slope intercept form, you can just do a little bit of algebr...

If you want to put it in slope intercept form, you can just do a little bit of algebraic manipulation. y minus 8 is equal to, let's distribute the 5 halves. So 5 halves x minus 5 halves times 2 is just 5. And then add 8 to both sides. You get y is equal to 5 halves x. Add 8 to negative 5, so plus 3. And we are done.

So pause this video and try to think about this on your own before we work through it together. All right, now let's work through it together. So in general, if you know that something is already a parallelogram and you wanna determine whether it's a rectangle, it's really a question of whether the adjacent sides inter...

So for example, a parallelogram might look something like this. What we know about a parallelogram is that the opposite sides are parallel. So this side is parallel to that side and that this side is parallel to this side. And all rectangles are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles. In order for a ...

And all rectangles are parallelograms, but not all parallelograms are rectangles. In order for a parallelogram to be a rectangle, these sides need to intersect at right angles. And clearly the way I drew this one, it doesn't look like that. But let's see if we can figure that out based on the coordinates that they have...

But let's see if we can figure that out based on the coordinates that they have given us. And to help us visualize, let me just put some coordinates. Let me draw some axes here. So that's my X axis, and then this is my Y axis. Let's see the coordinates. Let's see, we have twos, fours, sixes. Let me actually count by an...

So that's my X axis, and then this is my Y axis. Let's see the coordinates. Let's see, we have twos, fours, sixes. Let me actually count by an eight. So let me count by twos here. So we have two, four, six, and eight. And then we have negative two, negative four, negative six, negative eight.

Let me actually count by an eight. So let me count by twos here. So we have two, four, six, and eight. And then we have negative two, negative four, negative six, negative eight. We have two, four, six, and eight. And then we'd have negative two, negative four, negative six, and negative eight. So each hash mark is ano...

And then we have negative two, negative four, negative six, negative eight. We have two, four, six, and eight. And then we'd have negative two, negative four, negative six, and negative eight. So each hash mark is another two. I'm counting by twos here. And so let's plot these points. And I'll do it in different colors...

So each hash mark is another two. I'm counting by twos here. And so let's plot these points. And I'll do it in different colors so we can keep track. So A is negative six, negative four. So negative two, negative four, negative six, and then negative four would go right over here. That is point A.
Classifying figures with coordinates Analytic geometry High school geometry Khan Academy.mp3
And I'll do it in different colors so we can keep track. So A is negative six, negative four. So negative two, negative four, negative six, and then negative four would go right over here. That is point A. Then we have point B, which is negative two, six. So negative two, six. So that's going to go up to four and six.
Classifying figures with coordinates Analytic geometry High school geometry Khan Academy.mp3
That is point A. Then we have point B, which is negative two, six. So negative two, six. So that's going to go up to four and six. So that is point B right over there. Then we have point C, which is at eight, two. So eight, comma, two right over there.

So that's going to go up to four and six. So that is point B right over there. Then we have point C, which is at eight, two. So eight, comma, two right over there. That is point C. And then last but not least, we have point D, which is at four, comma, negative eight. Four, comma, negative eight right over there, point ...

So eight, comma, two right over there. That is point C. And then last but not least, we have point D, which is at four, comma, negative eight. Four, comma, negative eight right over there, point D. And so our quadrilateral, or we actually know it's a parallelogram, looks like this. So you have segment AB like that. You...
Classifying figures with coordinates Analytic geometry High school geometry Khan Academy.mp3
So you have segment AB like that. You have segment BC that looks like that. Segment CD looks like this. And segment AD looks like this. And we know already that it's a parallelogram. So we know that segment AB is parallel to segment DC, and segment BC is parallel to segment AD. But what we really need to do is figure o...

And segment AD looks like this. And we know already that it's a parallelogram. So we know that segment AB is parallel to segment DC, and segment BC is parallel to segment AD. But what we really need to do is figure out whether they are intersecting at right angles. And to do that, using the coordinates to figure that o...

But what we really need to do is figure out whether they are intersecting at right angles. And to do that, using the coordinates to figure that out, we have to figure out the slopes of these different line segments. And so let's figure out first the slope of AB. So the slope of segment AB is going to be equal to our ch...
Classifying figures with coordinates Analytic geometry High school geometry Khan Academy.mp3
So the slope of segment AB is going to be equal to our change in y over change in x. So our change in y is going to be six minus negative four, six minus negative four, over negative two minus negative six. Negative two minus negative six. And so this is going to be equal to six plus four, which is 10, over negative tw...
