Answer:

A quadrilateral become square if all the sides joining the co-ordinate of quadrilateral is equal

Explanation:

Here the given co-ordinate of quadrilateral are

G (3, -1) O(1, -6)

L(-4, -4) F(-2, 1)

Line GF =
√((3+2)^2+(-1-1)^2)

GF =
√(29)

Similarly for line OG, OL, FL

OG =
\sqrt{(1-3)^2 +(-6+1)^2

OG =
√(29)

OL =
√((-4-1)^2+(-6+4)^2)

OL =
√(29)

And

FL =
√((-4+2)^) +(-4+1)^2

FL =
√(29)

all the sides of quadrilateral GF, OG, OL, FL all equal to
√(29)

As all the sides are equal so quadrilateral become square Answer
