Problem Statement: Problem 5: is about graphing a quadrilateral with different points.

Process:
Describe what you did in attempting to solve the problem. Do this part even if you did not solve
the problem.
To solve the problem you are given 4 sets of coordinates A= 0, 0 B 7, 1 C 12, 6 D 5, 5. You have to
graph them (obviously). When you graph them you find out that you make a rhombus.

Solution:
State the solution clearly as you can. Explain how you know your answer is correct.

The solution is simple get graph paper make a graph like this --
points and get a rhombus (graph above)

add in the

Extension: N/A

Evaluation:
Discuss your personal reaction to the problem.

What did you learn from it?

I learned that you can solve a formula by graphing it.
Describe one Habit of a Mathematician that you used?
Be confident, patient and persistent was on I had to use because I kept messing so I had to be
confident and patient because Ive (and I always say this) had a bad record with math. I was
persistent because this problem was easier that the others that we had.
How would you change the problem to make it better?
I dont think I would change anything about this problem its very straight forwarde
Did you enjoy working on it?
This problem was very easy so I did enjoy working on it.
