Answer:

WXYZ is a rectangle

Explanation:

∵ W = (-1.5 , 1.5) , X = (6 , 1.5)

∴ WX is a horizontal segment ⇒ same y-coordinates

∴ WX = 6 - -1.5 = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 units ⇒ (1)

∵ Y = (6 , -4.5) , X = (6 , 1.5)

∴ XY is a vertical segment ⇒ same x-coordinates

∴ XY = 1.5 - -4.5 = 1.5 + 4.5 = 6 units ⇒ (2)

From (1) and (2) WX XY

∵ Y = (6 , -4.5) , Z = (-1.5 , -4.5)

∴ YZ is a horizontal segment ⇒ same y-coordinates

∴ YZ = 6 - -1.5 = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5 units ⇒ (3)

From (1) and (3)

∴ WX // YZ and WX = YZ

WXYZ is a rectangle2 opposite sides are parallel and equal

and 2 adjacent sides are
