Question :-
Show that the points (-5,2) , (-5 – 3), (2, -3) and (2, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram. Is the parallelogram a rectangle?

Solution :-
Let, A, B, C, D denote the points (-5,2), (-5, -3) (2,-3) and (2,2) respectively.
Then,
AB² = {-5-(-5)} + {2-(-3)}²-0²+5² = 25
So, AB = 5
BC² = (-5-2)² + {-3-(-3)}² = (-7)² +0²= 49
So, BC = 7
CD² = (2-2)²+(-3-2)² = 0²+(-5)² = 25
So, CD = 5
DA² = {2-(-5)}²+(2-2)² = 7² +0² = 49
So, DA =7
So, AB =CD and BC = DA.
Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
Again, AC² = (-5-2)² + {2−(−3)}² = (-7)² + (5)² = 74
So, AC = √74
and BD² = (-5-2)² + (-3-2)² = (-7)²+(-5)² = 74
So, BD = √74
So, AC = BD i.e., the diagonals of the parallelogram are equal and therefore, the parallelogram is a rectangle.
