214. Prove (hat the points (-2, -1), (1, 0), (4, 3) and (1, 2) are the vertices of a parallelogram is it a rectangle?


Let A(-2,-1), B(1, 0), C(4, 3) and D(1, 2) be the vertices of a parallelogram
Now, the mid-point of diagonal AC is

equals open square brackets fraction numerator straight x subscript 1 plus straight x subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator straight y subscript 1 plus straight y subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction close square brackets

Here, we have
x1 = 2,    y1 = —1
x2 = 4,    y2 = 3

equals open square brackets 2 over 2 comma space 2 over 2 close square brackets equals open square brackets 1 comma space 1 close square brackets

The mid-point of diagonal BD

equals open square brackets fraction numerator straight x subscript 1 plus straight x subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction comma space fraction numerator straight y subscript 1 plus straight y subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction close square brackets

[Here, we have
x1 = 1,    y1 = 0
x2 = 1,    y2 = 2]

∴ The mid-point of AC is the same as the midpoint of BD.
∆ ABCD is a parallelogram.
Test for Rectangle :


AC space equals space square root of left curly bracket 4 minus left parenthesis negative 2 right parenthesis right curly bracket squared plus left curly bracket 3 minus left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis right curly bracket squared end root
space space space space space space equals square root of left parenthesis 4 plus 2 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis 3 plus 1 right parenthesis squared end root
space space space space space space space equals space square root of 6 squared plus 4 squared end root space equals space square root of 36 plus 16 end root equals square root of 52
and space space BD space equals space square root of left parenthesis 1 minus 1 right parenthesis squared plus left parenthesis 2 minus 0 right parenthesis squared end root
space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space space square root of left parenthesis 0 right parenthesis squared left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis squared end root equals square root of 0 plus 4 end root equals square root of 4 equals 2

Clearly AC ≠ BD
So, ABCD is not a rectangle.
