If we had a shape such as a parallelogram plotted onto a graph we would me able to use distance formula to find the length of each side and determine it is in fact a parallelogram since opposite sides are congruent....Same applies with a square, if we had one plotted we would use distance formula to find the side length...if each side length is the same then it would in fact be a square.
