A. (-4, 2)
B. (-2, 1)
C. (-1, 1)
D. (-4,-2)

Answer 1

Can anyone help....??

Answer 2

let us consider coordinate of D be(x,y)
now determine AB and CD
using the formula
\[\sqrt{(x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2}\]

Answer 3

then equate AB = CD ( as side of square are equal)

Answer 4

yes. i did that and got about 4.5 as the distance

Answer 5

What do you mean equate? @niksva

Answer 6

equate means equivalent or compare ,etc..

Answer 7

okay, so what do i do next?

Answer 8

mid points of diagonals are same.
