For this case we must follow the steps below:
step 1:
We place each of the given points on a coordinate axis
Step 2:
We join the AC points (represented by the orange line)
We join the BD points (represented by the blue line)
It is observed that the resulting figure after placing the 4 points on a coordinate axis, turns out to be a rhombus.
In addition, the blue and orange lines turn out to be perpendicular, that is, they have an angle of 90 degrees between them. This can be verified by finding the slopes of each of the two straight lines (blue and orange), which must be opposite reciprocal, that is, they comply:
In this case, the slope of the orange line is and that of the blue line is
Then , it is verified that they are perpendicular.
Thus, the conclusion is that ABCD is a rhombus and AC is perpendicular to BD.

Option D
Answer:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 23.432.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where and
For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:
(a)
(b)
As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.20 of the area on the left and 0.80 of the area on the right it's z=-0.842
If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:
But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:
And if we solve for a we got
So the value of height that separates the bottom 20% of data from the top 80% is 23.432.
