Correct Question :-
Find out whether the vertices A(-4, -7) , B(-1,2) , C(8,5) and D(5,4) are vertices of a rhombus.
Solution :-
We have the vertices of a figure, that may form a rhombus. With the vertices we can find the distance between each consecutive vertex.
As we know, All the four sides of rhombus are equal that is a first step towards proving whether the given vertices form a rhombus or not.
So, Let's find the distance b/w each consecutive vertex to find if they are same.
Using distance formula, which is given by,
- d = √{ (x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² }
Now, Let's find the distance
⇒ AB = √{ (-1 - (-4))² + (2 - (-7)² }
⇒ AB = √{ (3)² + (9)² }
⇒ AB = √90
And,
⇒ BC = √{ (8 - (-1))² + (5 - 2)² }
⇒ BC = √{ (9)² + (3)² }
⇒ BC = √90
Further,
⇒ CD = √{ (5 - 8)² + (4 - 5)² }
⇒ CD = √{ (-3)² + (-1)² }
⇒ CD = √10
Similarly,
⇒ CA = √{ (5 - (-4))² + (4 - (-7))² }
⇒ CA = √{ (9)² + (11)² }
⇒ CA = √202
Because, AB = BC ≠ CD ≠ CA hence the given vertices doesn't form a Rhombus as all four sides of a rhombus are equal.
