The points A ( - 1, - 2), B (4, 3), C (2, 5) and D ( - 3, 0) are in that order form a rectangle.
True
We know that, in a rectangle, opposite sides and diagonals are equal and bisect each other
Calculate the distance between A ( - 1, - 2) and B (4, 3);
By using the distance formula;
∵ Distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2);
So,
Distance between C (2, 5) and D ( - 3, 0);
Distance between A ( - 1, - 2) and D ( - 3, 0);
AD =
Distance between B (4, 3) and C (2, 5);
BC =
Since, AB = CD and AD = BC
Also, Calculate the distance of diagonals;
Distance between A ( - 1, - 2) and C (2, 5);
AC =
Distance between D ( - 3, 0) and B (4, 3);
DB =
Since, diagonals AC and BD are equal
Hence, the points A ( - 1, - 2), B (4, 3), C (2, 5) and D ( - 3, 0) form a rectangle.
