Answer:
B. Square
Step-by-step explanation:
Finding the side lengths :
<u>Side 1</u>
⇒ d₁ = √(-4 - 0)² + (8 - 8)²
⇒ d₁ = √16
⇒ d₁ = 4
=============================================================
<u>Side 2</u>
⇒ d₂ = √(-4 + 4)² + (8 - 4)²
⇒ d₂ = √16
⇒ d₂ = 4
===========================================================
<u>Side 3</u>
⇒ d₃ = √(-4 - 0)² + (4 - 4)²
⇒ d₃ = √16
⇒ d₃ = 4
============================================================
<u>Side 4</u>
⇒ d₄ = √(0 - 0)² + (8 - 4)²
⇒ d₄ = √16
⇒ d₄ = 4
As all sides of the figure are equal, and it creates 4 right angles, it is a square.
