Q14 of 20 Page 52

Let us show that the points (2, 5), (5, 9), (9, 12) and (6, 8) form a rhombus when they are joined orderly.

Let


A = (2, 5)


B = (5, 9)


C = (9, 12)


D = (6, 8)


Distance between two points =


AB = =


BC = = 5


CD = =


DA = =


Since all the sides are equal, the polygon qualifies as a rhombus.


The rhombus formed will look like:
