Question

Quadrilateral ABCD has coordinates A (3, 1), B (4, 4), C (7, 5), D (6, 2). Quadrilateral ABCD is a (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE

Step-by-step explanation:

When we are given coordinates (x1, x2) and (y1 , y2) for a Quadrilateral, we solve for the sides using this formula.

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

A (3, 1), B (4, 4), C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

Side AB = A (3, 1), B (4, 4)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(4 - 3)² + (4 - 1)²

= √1² + 3²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side BC = B (4, 4), C (7, 5)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(7 - 4)² + (5 - 4)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

Side CD = C (7, 5), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 7)² + (2 - 5)²

= √(-1) ² + (-3)²

= √1 + 9

= √10

Side AD = A (3, 1), D (6, 2)

√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

= √(6 - 3)² + (2 - 1)²

= √3² + 1²

= √9 + 1

= √10

From the above calculation,

Side AB = √10

Side BC = √10

Side CD = √10

Side AD = √10

Hence, AB = BC = CD = AD

When all the side of a Quadrilateral are the same or equal to each other, it means the Quadrilateral is a square.

Therefore, Quadrilateral ABCD is a SQUARE
