उत्तर
The points are A(2, –2), B(7, 3), C(11, –1) and D(6, –6)

Using distance formula,
d = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
AB = `sqrt((7 - 2)^2 + (3 + 2)^2`
= `sqrt((5)^2 + (5)^2`
= `sqrt(25 + 25)`
= `sqrt(50)`
= 5`sqrt(2)`
BC = `sqrt((11 - 7)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2`
= `sqrt((4)^2 + (-4)^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 16)`
= `sqrt(32)`
= `4sqrt(2)`
CD = `sqrt((6 - 11)^2 + (-6 + 1)^2`
= `sqrt((-5)^2 + (-5)^2`
= `sqrt(25 + 25)`
= `sqrt(50)`
= `5sqrt(2)`
DA = `sqrt((2 - 6)^2 + (-2 + 6)^2`
= `sqrt((-4)^2 + (4)^2`
= `sqrt(16 + 16)`
= `sqrt(32)`
= `4sqrt(2)`
Finding diagonals AC and BD, we get,
AC = `sqrt((11 - 2)^2 + (-1 + 2)^2`
= `sqrt((9)^2 + (1)^2`
= `sqrt(81 + 1)`
= `sqrt(82)`
And BD = `sqrt((6 - 7)^2 + (-6 - 3)^2`
= `sqrt((-1)^2 + (-9)^2`
= `sqrt(1 + 81)`
= `sqrt(82)`
The quadrilateral formed is rectangle.
