Answer 1

QRST is a rhombus

Let’s look at the diagonals
Length QS = sr(4^2 + 0) = 4
Length RT = sr(0 + 6^2) = 6
This means it cannot be a square or rectangle as they both have equal length diagonals.

QS is horizontal (y values same)
RT is horizontal (x values same)
This means it is a rhombus because diagonals are perpendicular and different lengths.

Squares have perpendicular diagonals of same length
Rectangles have diagonals of same length but not perpendicular
