Problem

A square is enclosed by the lines:

  1. \(\mathbf{r}=\begin{pmatrix}0\\2\end{pmatrix} + a\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix}\)
  1. \(\mathbf{r}=\begin{pmatrix}0\\6\end{pmatrix} + b\begin{pmatrix}-1\\1\end{pmatrix}\)
  1. \(\mathbf{r}=\begin{pmatrix}2\\1\end{pmatrix} + c\begin{pmatrix}2\\2\end{pmatrix}\)
  1. \(\mathbf{r}=\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\end{pmatrix} + d\begin{pmatrix}1\\-1\end{pmatrix}\)
  • Can you convince yourself that the adjacent edges are perpendicular?

  • Find the area of the square.

  • Find a vector equation for each of the two diagonals.
