Question

again use the distance formula.
if it is a square all four ditances will be the same.
if it is a ractangle you get two repeated distances

Make a graph, put the coordinates in, then draw lines to connect them. Is it a square or a rectangle?

We have no idea how experienced you are, so if you have questions about the guidance, feel free to ask; but please dont belittle those who are willing to help you.

amistre64 · Answer

also, the question is a bit vague to me, since a square is a rectangle, the correct answer regardless would be "a rectangle"

anonymous · Answer

Vertices is plural of vertex, or the part where 2 line segments would meet. Simple enough, it's a corner. Just using my imagination it would be a square if you put all the coordinates in.
