Question

Which of these would be an appropriate method to show a quadrilateral is a rectangle?

Your answer:


Use the distance formula four times to show that all sides are congruent


Use the distance formula six times to show that all sides and the diagonals are congruent

Use the distance formula six times to show that the opposite sides and the diagonals are congruent

Answer 1

Use the distance formula six times to show that the opposite sides and the diagonals are congruent

Explanation:

A polygon is a two-dimensional shape formed using straight lines. A rectangle is a four-sided polygon in which all the interior angles are right angles.

Also, the opposite sides of the rectangle are parallel and of equal length.

Both diagonals of a rectangle are also congruent.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which opposite sides and the diagonals are congruent.
