Name the two coordinate geometry tools that could be used to verify the existence of a rectangle AND state what evidence you would need from them.
1) Slope Formula - used to show two segments meeting at a vertex are perpendicular by showing opposite reciprocal slopes
2) Distance formula - used to show the diagonals are equal length and thus congruent by definition

Given Rectangle LMNO, OP is 2x + 20 and NP is 6x-4, What is the measure of LP? 
Rectangles, the diagonals are bisected, Cut exactly in half. The diagonals are also Congruent to each other.
LP=MP=NP=LP
Solve the equation 2x+20 =6x-4. 24=4x 6=x
Substitute in 6 for x, 2(6)+20 equals 32
LP is 24

Find angles 1, 2 and 3 of the Rhombus
Angle 1 = 38°. 180-52-90=38
Angle 2 - 90° Diagonals are perpendicular
Angle 3 - 90° Diagonals are perpendicular

if AO = 3x-9 and Do = 5x - 33 what is the length of
OC? 
3x-9 = 5x -33
x = 12
Substitute in 12 for x
5(12) - 33 = 27 Length is 27 units long
