Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Polygon WXYZ has vertices W(-1.5, 1.5), X(6, 1.5), Y(6, -4.5), and Z(-1.5, -4.5).

Find the slopes of all sides:

$WX:\ \dfrac{1.5-1.5}{6-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{0}{7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$XY:\ \dfrac{-4.5-1.5}{6-6}=\dfrac{-6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

$YZ:\ \dfrac{-4.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-6}=\dfrac{0}{-7.5}=0$ - horizontal line

$ZW:\ \dfrac{1.5-(-4.5)}{-1.5-(-1.5)}=\dfrac{6}{0}$ - slope undefined, so the line is vertical

Vertical and horizontal lines are perpendicular, so all angles W, X, Y and Z are right angles. Hence, quadrilateral WXYZ is a rectangle
