<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In every rectangle, the two diagonals have the same length. If a quadrilateral's diagonals have the same length, that doesn't mean it has to be a rectangle, but if a parallelogram's diagonals have the same length, then it's definitely a rectangle.

So first of all, let's prove this is a parallelogram. The basic definition of a parallelogram is that it is a quadrilateral where both pairs of opposite sides are parallel.

So let's name the vertices as:

A(-1,3) \\ \\ B(1,5) \\ \\ C(5,1) \\ \\ D(3,-1)

First pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

\text{For AB}: \\ \\ m=\frac{5-3}{1-(-1)}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For CD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-(-1)}{5-3}=1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So AB and CD are parallel}

Second pair of opposite sides:

<u>Slope:</u>

\text{For BC}: \\ \\ m=\frac{1-5}{5-1}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{For AD}: \\ \\ m=\frac{-1-3}{3-(-1)}=-1 \\ \\ \\ \text{So BC and AD are parallel}

So in fact this is a parallelogram. The other thing we need to prove is that the diagonals measure the same. Using distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(x_{2}-x_{1})^2} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ BD: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(1-3)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\ Diagonal \ AC: \\ \\ d=\sqrt{(3-1)^2+(-5-1)^2}=2\sqrt{10} \\ \\ \\

So the diagonals measure the same, therefore this is a rectangle.
