Prove that M(-3,2),A(-2,6),I(2,1) and H(1,3) a
rhombus.
Do we need to use slope or distance formula?
__
AT=underline ( )TH=underline ( )HM=underline ( )
Why is this a rhombus? Explain how you know.
The solution is below . Did you get it correct : or
incorrect?
Solution:
Rhombus:Parallelogram with 4 congruent sides
You only need to use the distance formula to
show that all four sides are congruent
Any quadrilateral with 4 congruent sides will be a
rhombus (and will have parallel sides, so we do
not need to prove that part).
MA=sqrt (17) MA =
AT=sqrt (17)
TH=sqrt (17)
HM=sqrt (17) HM =
All sides are congruent so this is a rhombus
