KS2 Primary Maths Age 13-17 - Geometry: Coordinates - Explained

The video tutorial explains how to find the coordinates of points B and D on a rectangle aligned with coordinate axes. The rectangle's sides are parallel to the axes, and point C is at its center. Given the coordinates of points A and C, the tutorial demonstrates calculating the X and Y coordinates of points B and D using the properties of parallel lines and the center of the rectangle.

What is the relationship between the sides of the rectangle and the coordinate axes?

• AB is parallel to the Y-axis, BD is parallel to the X-axis

• AB is parallel to the X-axis, BD is parallel to the Y-axis

• AB and BD are both parallel to the Y-axis

• AB and BD are both parallel to the X-axis

How do you determine the X coordinate of points B and D?

• By using the Y coordinate of A

• By using the Y coordinate of C

• By subtracting the distance from A to C from the X coordinate of A

• By adding the distance from A to C to the X coordinate of A

What is the X coordinate of points B and D?

• 55

• 30

• 40

• 25

How is the Y coordinate of point B determined?

• By using the Y coordinate of C

• By using the Y coordinate of A

• By adding the height difference to the Y coordinate of C

• By subtracting the height difference from the Y coordinate of A

What is the Y coordinate of point D?

• 8

• 14

• 30

• 22
