From what I can observe, figuring this out requires the ability to visualize the figure based on the given information.

hero · Answer

@annipuppi, have you graphed the given points yet?

annipuppi · Answer

No... I don't have any graph paper

hero · Answer

You can graph the points using this: http://www.desmos.com

annipuppi · Answer

okay... so would it be a rhombus or a kite?

hero · Answer

You're on the right track

hero · Answer

Now you should find the actual midpoints to determine it. It will require a bit of work...but nothing you probably can't figure out on your own.

annipuppi · Answer

Okay... Well while I'm figuring out the midpoints do you think you could help me with another question?
