Quadrilateral PQRS has vertices P(−2,3), Q(3,8), R(4,1), and S(−1,−4). Prove that PQRS is a rhombus. Prove that PQRS is not a square.

Because the slopes of adjacent sides are not opposite reciprocals, they are not perpendicular and do not form a right angle. Therefore PQRS is not a square.

In rhombus MATH, the coordinates of the endpoints of the diagonal MT are M(0,−1) and T(4,6). Write an equation of the line that contains diagonal AH.

y − 2.5 = −4 7 (x − 2) The diagonals, MT and AH, of rhombus MATH are perpendicular bisectors of each other

Quadrilateral KATE has vertices K(1,5), A(4,7), T(7,3), and E(1,−1). a Prove that KATE is a trapezoid.

To prove that KATE is a trapezoid, show that one pair of opposite sides of the figure is parallel by showing they have the same slope and that the other pair of opposite sides is not parallel by showing they do not have the same slope:

The vertices of quadrilateral JKLM have coordinates J(−3,1), K(1,−5), L(7,−2), and M(3,4). Prove that JKLM is a parallelogram. Prove that JKLM is not a rhombus.

Since both opposite sides have equal slopes and are parallel, JKLM is a parallelogram.

JM is not congruent to ML, so JKLM is not a rhombus since not all sides

In the coordinate plane, the vertices of RST are R(6,−1), S(1,−4), and T(−5,6). Prove that RST is a right triangle. State the coordinates of point P such that quadrilateral RSTP is a rectangle. Prove that your quadrilateral RSTP is a rectangle.

Since the slopes of TS and SR are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular and form a right angle. RST is a right triangle because ∠S is a right angle. 

Since the slopes of all four adjacent sides (TS and SR, SR and RP, PT and TS, RP and PT ) are opposite reciprocals, they are perpendicular and form right angles. Quadrilateral RSTP is a rectangle because it has four right angles.

Quadrilateral MATH has coordinates M(1,1), A(−2,5), T(3,5), and H(6,1). Prove that quadrilateral MATH is a rhombus and prove that it is not a square.

The length of each side of quadrilateral is 5. Since each side is congruent, quadrilateral MATH is a rhombus. The slope of MH is 0 and the slope of HT is −4 3 . Since the slopes are not negative reciprocals, the sides are not perpendicular and do not form rights angles. Since adjacent sides are not perpendicular, quadrilateral MATH is not a square.
