Hannah is experimenting with a new drawing program on her computer. She created quadrilateral MATH with coordinates M(1, 2). A(-5, 3), T(- 6,-3), and H(0,- 4). Hannah believes that she has created a square. Prove that Hannah is correct.

Answer:

It is a square, Hannah is a G.

Explanation:

You can plug it in for visual, see attachment. You can see that it is a bit rotated square.

But real proof should be done with the points.

For it to be square all sides need to equal each other.

What's the x distance of M and A?

It is 1-(-5) = 1+5 = 6

What is the x distance of H and T?

It is 0-(-6) = 0+6 = 6

What is the y distance of M and H?

It is 2-(-4) = 2+4 = 6

What is the y distance of A and T?

It is 3-(-3) = 3+3 = 6

All are 6 so all sides are equal so it is a square.
