Show that the quadrilateral 'PLOT' with vertices $P(1, 1)$, $L(-5, 1)$, $O(-5, 4)$ and $T(1, 4)$ is a rectangle. Is it a square? Justify.
Show SolutionHide Solution
Getting $PL = 6$, $OT = 6$, $OL = 3$, $TP = 3$ (4$\times$1/2 Mark)
nGetting $PO = LT = \sqrt{45}$ (1/2 Mark)
n$\therefore PLOT$ is a rectangle. (1/2 Mark)
nAs adjacent sides are not equal
n$\therefore PLOT$ is not a square (1/2 Mark)
