Answer:
Kite
Step-by-step explanation:
To graph quadrilateral with points:
A(-1,-2)
B(5,1)
C(-3,1)
D(-1,4)
Thus, we graph the the given points and join the corners. The quadrilateral formed has the following features:
Measure of segment AB= Measure of segment BD = 6.708 units
Measure of segment AC= Measure of segment CD = 3.605 units
Thus, adjacent pair of sides of the quadrilateral are congruent.
Major diagonal BC cuts the minor diagonal AD at point E such that:
Measure of segment AE= Measure of segment ED = 3 units
m∠AEB = m∠DEB = 90°
Thus, major diagonal is a perpendicular bisector of the minor diagonal.
The above stated features fulfills the criterion of a kite.
Hence, the given quadrilateral ABCD is a kite.
