    Guinevere and Lancelot observe a quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(2,2), B(5,-2), C(9,1), and D(6,5). Guinevere says it is a rhombus, while Lancelot says it is a square. Using the distance and slope formulas, the proof shows ABCD is a parallelogram and rhombus since opposite sides are congruent. It is also a square since it has one set of opposite sides with negative reciprocal slopes, making the angles 90 degrees, with all sides congruent. Therefore, Lancelot is correct that it is a square.

    Question #6

    Guinevere and Lancelot see a drawing of quadrilateral ABCD,  A(2,2), B(5,-2), C(9,1) and D(6,5).


    Guinevere says the figure is a rhombus, but not a square.  Lancelot says the figure is a square.  Write a
    proof to show who is making the correct observation.
    Distance Formula

    ABCD is a parallelogram because it has two sets of


    opposite sides congruent.
    ABCD is a rhombus because it is a parallelogram with
    4 congruent sides.

    Slope Formula     slope of    slope of 

          =  = 
     
    So,   since the slopes are negative
    reciprocals.
    ABCD is a square because it is a parallelogram with a right angle and all sides are congruent.
    Lancelot is correct!
