You need to check which sides are parallel by calculating their slope from the coordinates of the endpoints.....

anonymous · Answer

rectangle?

mrnood · Answer

I don't know - but I can guess just as well as you did.

Work out which sides are parallel

anonymous · Answer

I got different number for all sides

mrnood · Answer

all the answers have parallel sides - so you must have made a mistake.

You also need the length of each side.

OR - plot it out more accurately on graph paper or however you choose

anonymous · Answer

rhombus

mrnood · Answer

a rhombus has 4 equal sides - are all these sides equal?

anonymous · Answer

no

anonymous · Answer

oh wait since adjacent sides are not perpendicular then square

mrnood · Answer

I don't get the feeling you have made any attempt to analyse these poits

anonymous · Answer

Parallelogram

mrnood · Answer

congratulations! you have now guessed ALL FOUR answers. One of them is correct.

DO SOME CALCULATION on side length - or draw it accurately

anonymous · Answer

lol I did and got sides wrong by doing slope and got different numbers
