A, B, C and D as shown in Figure. Jarina and Phani
walk into the class and after observing for a few

Step-by-step explanation:
According to the fig. A(3,4),B(6,7),C(9,4) and D(6,1) are the position of 4 friends .
If we join all these points then
By using distance formula

if we join the point AC and BD than

Diagonal BD=

Hence all the sides of a quadrilateral are the same and the diagonals are also the same so ABCD is a square.
