- why is the alphabet now on math(20 votes)
- the letters aren't considered as the alphabet in the problems they are just used to show the different points and they also use the letters to name the points so that you don't get confused.(14 votes)
- how do you do the bonus problum?(12 votes)
- First, calculate the length of segment DC. X-axis of point D to C = -1.5 + s = 4.5 and y-axis of point D to C = 4+t=4. Then we got the length s is 6 and the length t is 0.
(Remember length in the segment is length between two-point. s and t is just a variable to represent the length in x-axis and y-axis of segment DC.)
Since the length of segment AB is the same as the length of segment DC---> X-axis of point A to B = 1 + 6 = j and Y-axis of point A to B = 1 + 0 = k ---> B(j , k) =B(7 , 1).
Sorry for my English. Hope this helps.(13 votes)

- Hey guys
I'm taking Geometry this coming fall, so I'm trying to prepare by taking the Khan courses, "Geometry" and "Get ready for Geometry." The course "Get ready for Geometry" is a bit easy right now, so I'm wondering if I should skip it and jump to the course "Geometry." What do you guys think? Is "Get ready for Geometry" vital for the course "Geometry"?(8 votes)- Sorry, I think I posted in the wrong section, so I'll repeat just in case: I think the "Get ready for Geometry" is pretty useful, but I don't think it's vital if you understand most of the concepts already.🙃(3 votes)

- How do you do this I don't understand the parraellograms(8 votes)
- To solve it easily, you first have to find the length of the base, or the long side. You also should find the height, and it is the distance from the long side to the other long side. After you find those dimensions, solve the rest like how you would solve for the area of an rectangle and square.(2 votes)

- this was greatly underwelming(6 votes)
- I dont understand the bonus question(2 votes)
- The first thing I noticed is that both sides are horizontal which means the y value has to be 1 (notice you have 2 y values of 4). Then, the x distance from D to C is 4.5-(-1.5)=6. Moving from the x value of A (1) six units gives 7 as the x value, thus point is (7,1). Hope this helps.(7 votes)
