Question

Parallelogram ABCD has vertices: A(-3, 1), B(3, 3), C(4, 0), and D(-2, -2). In two or more complete sentences, explain how you can use the coordinates of the vertices to prove that parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.

please help

Answer 1

Explanation:

via the distance formula (based on Pythagoras) I can prove that ABC is a right-angled triangle, and that ADC is fully congruent to ABC.

so, together these 2 triangles (joined at their Hypotenuses, the diagonal AC) build a rectangle.
