Given : Quadrilateral EFGH has vertices at E(10, 4), F(16, 4), G(16, 10) and H(10, 10).

To Find : Based on the properties of the diagonals, is quadrilateral EFGH a rectangle, rhombus, or square?

Use the distance and slope formulas to prove your conclusion.  

Solution:

E(10, 4), F(16, 4), G(16, 10) and H(10, 10).

Diagonal

EG  & HF

Mid point of  EG  = ( 10 + 16)/2  , ( 4 + 10)/2

= 13 , 7

Mid point of  HF  = ( 16 + 10)/2  , ( 4 + 10)/2

= 13 , 7

Mid point is common

Hence both diagonal bisect each other

EG = √(16 - 10)² + (10 - 4)² = 6√2

HF = √(16 - 10)² + (10 - 4)² = 6√2

EG = HF

Hence its a  rectangle

Slope of EG  = (10 - 4)/(16 - 10)  = 6/6  = 1

Slope of HF = (10 - 4)/(10 - 16)  = 6/-6 = -1

multiplication of slopes = - 1

Hence diagonals are perpendicular

Hence its a rhombus and square

quadrilateral EFGH  is a SQUARE

which is always rectangle , rhombus and parallelogram also

EF  = 6

FG = 6

GH = 6

EH = 6

Slope of EF  = 0

Slope of FG = 6/0

Slope of GH = 0

Slope of EH = 6/0

Hence Verified that its a square

as all sides are Equal and adjacent sides are perpendicular
