Question

if p: q = 3÷ 4 q:2 and p:r =1÷3:11÷2 find

p:q:r
q:r
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are P(2,-1), Q(3,4), R(-2,3) and S(-3,-2).We have

PQ=

and, PR

This means that PQRS is quadrilateral whose sides are equal but diagonals are not equal.

Thus, PQRS is a rhombus but not a square.

.Now, Area of rhombus PQRS=
