How to do these

Is the triangle with A(1,1), B(4,5), C(8,2) a right triangle? Justify with slopes.

  1. The slope of AB is 4/3.
  2. The slope of BC is -3/4.
  3. The slopes multiply to -1, so the sides are perpendicular.

The answer is Yes: AB‾⊥BC‾ (slopes 43 and −34).

Where students go wrong

Showing one pair of sides parallel and calling it a parallelogram. That could be a trapezoid; both pairs have to be parallel.

Also called proofs with coordinates, coordinate geometry proofs or slope and distance proofs.

What you can put on this worksheet

Is it a right triangle?
Is the triangle with A(−1,0), B(0,−3), C(6,−1) a right triangle? Justify with slopes. → Yes: AB‾⊥BC‾ (slopes −3 and 13)
Diagonals that bisect each other
Use the midpoints of the diagonals to decide whether A(−2,−1), B(3,−3), C(3,1), D(−2,3) form a parallelogram. → Midpoint of AC‾ is (12,0), of BD‾ is (12,0); yes, the diagonals bisect each other
From the vertices
Classify the triangle with vertices (0,1), (2,1) and (3,4) by its sides. → Scalene
Classify from the vertices
Classify quadrilateral ABCD with A(−3,3), B(0,1), C(6,10), D(3,12) as exactly as you can. Use slopes and side lengths. → Rectangle: AB=13, BC=313, AB‾⊥BC‾

Questions about these worksheets

Yes. Every coordinate proofs sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.

Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.

Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.

Geometry is usually taken around 9th or 10th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.

Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.

That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the coordinate proofs questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.

Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.

You pick from 4: is it a right triangle?, diagonals that bisect each other, from the vertices and classify from the vertices. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.

Showing one pair of sides parallel and calling it a parallelogram. That could be a trapezoid; both pairs have to be parallel.
