Math Problem Statement

Which point is southeast of Point V on a square dot grid with points labeled R to Z?

Solution

We are tasked with determining which point is southeast of Point V.

Step-by-Step Approach:

  • From the grid, point V is located in the center.
  • To move southeast from a point, you must move one step down and one step to the right.

Solution:

  • Moving southeast from Point V (center):
    • One step down: This moves us to the row where points Y, Z are located.
    • One step to the right: This leads us to Point Z.

Thus, the point southeast of Point V is Point Z.

The correct answer is (D) Point Z.

Would you like a more detailed explanation or have any questions? Here are a few related questions to consider:

  1. What is the difference between southeast and southwest on a grid?
  2. How would the answer change if asked for the point northeast of V?
  3. Can you explain the cardinal directions in relation to movement on a grid?
  4. What is the concept of relative positioning in geometry?
  5. How does understanding coordinates help in solving these types of problems?

Tip: When dealing with directional questions on grids, think of the compass directions in terms of grid movement: north is up, south is down, east is right, and west is left.
