se the distance formula to find the length of the sides... opposite sides equal it could be a rectangle or parallelogram all sides equal, square or rhombus adjacent equal, kite and then the slope is used to check angles if the product of the 2 lines in -1 the lines are perpendicular (right angle) the the slopes of 2 lines are the same the sides are parallel. hope it helps

Answer:


Explanation:

Distance formula and the slope formula can be used to classify a quadrilateral as using the slope formula, the slopes can tell what angles it have or if lines are perpendicular or not.

Distance formula can be used to find the length of the sides and it also tells that whether it is right triangle or isosceles or an equilateral triangle.
