Answer:

quadrilateral, trapezoid, parallelogram

Explanation:

AB =
√((3-2)^2 + (4-1)^2) = √(1^2 + 3^2) = √(1 + 9) = √(10)

BC =
√((-4-2)^2+(-2-1)^2) = √((-6)^2 + (-3)^2) = √(36 + 9) = \sqrt{45

CD =
√((-3+4)^2 + (1+2)^2) = √(1^2 + 3^2) = √(1+9) = √(10)

AD =
√((-3-3)^2 + (1-4)^2) = √((-6)^2 + (-3)^2) = √(36+9) = √(45)


slope of AB = (1-4)/(2-3) = -3/-1 = 3

slope of CD = (1+2)/(-3+4) = 3/1 = 3

slope of BC = (-2-1)/(-4-2) = -3/-6 = 1/2

slope of AD = (1-4)/(-3-3) = -3/-6 = 1/2


four sides: quadrilateral

parallel bases : trapezoid

two couple of equal parallel sides: parallelogram
