Plot the points (3, 2), (- 2, 2), (- 2, - 2) and (3, - 2) in the Cartesian plane. Join these po in order and name the figure so formed.

Given coordinates are ( 3, 2 ), ( - 2, 2 ), ( - 2, - 2 ) and ( 3, - 2 ).
Let assume that
↝ Coordinates of A be (3, 2)
↝ Coordinates of B (- 2, 2)
↝ Coordinates of C (- 2, - 2)
↝ Coordinates of D (3, - 2).
[ Please see the attachment ].
From graph we concluded that
↝ AB = 5 units
↝ BC = 4 units
↝ CD = 5 units
↝ DA = 4 units
Also,
↝ AB is Perpendicular to BC.
↝ BC is perpendicular to CD
↝ CD is perpendicular to DA
↝ DA is perpendicular to AB.
It implies, AB = CD = 5 units and BC = DA = 4 units.
As we know that,
In a quadrilateral, if opposite sides are equal and angle between the sides is 90°, then quadrilateral is a rectangle.
So, this figure, ABCD is a rectangle.
Hence,
Coordinates ( 3, 2 ), ( - 2, 2 ), ( - 2, - 2 ) and ( 3, - 2 ) are the vertices of triangle.
