Step-by-step explanation:
Let the vertices of a parallelogram be A(−3,2), B(4,0), C(6,−3) and D(5,−5)
So by distance formula we have,
Distance between two points = (x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2
AB=(4+3)2+(0+2)2=5CD=(5−6)2+(−5+3)2=5BC=(6−4)2+(−3)2=13AD=(5−3)2+(−5+2)2=13
Opposite site of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore AB=CD=5 and BC=AD=13
ABCD is a parallelogram (PROVED)
