A(3,2), B(5,4), C(3,6), D(1,4)
d= √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2
AB=√(5-3)^2 + (4-2)^2
=√4+4
=√2×4.
=2√2
BC=√(3-5)^2 + (6-4)^2
=√4+4
=√2×4
=2√2
CD=√(1-3)^2 + (4-6)^2
=√4+4
=√2×4
=2√2
DA=√(3-1)^2 + (2-4)^2
=√4+4
=√2×4
=2√2
AC=√(3-3)^2 + (6-2)^2
=√0+16
=4
BD=√(1-5)^2 + (4-4)^2
=√16+0
=4
AB=BC=CD=DA and AC=BD. all the four sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal and its diagonals AC and BD ate also equal. Therefore, ABCD is a square
