Prove that the points (3, 0), (4, 5), (-1, 4) and (-2, -1), taken in order, form a rhombus. Also, find its area.

Let the Vertices of a quadrilateral are: A(3, 0), B(4, 5), C(-1, 4) and D(-2, -1),


Length of side AB =


Length of side AB = = = units


Length of side BC = = = units


Length of side CD = = = units


Length of side DA = = = units


Length of diagonal AC = = = units


Length of side BD = = = units


Since all sides are of equal length, therefore it is a rhombus.


Area of Rhombus = = = = 24 sq. units
