Geometric shapes are mathematical shapes that include squares and triangles
How to prove the shape is a square
The side lengths of a square are congruent, and the adjacent sides are perpendicular.
So, we start by calculating the side lengths using the following distance formula
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 -x_2)^2 + (y_1 -y_2)^2}[/tex]
Using the above formula, we have:
[tex]AB = \sqrt{(3-2)^2 + (4+2)^2} = \sqrt{37[/tex]
[tex]BC = \sqrt{(2+4)^2 + (-2+1)^2} = \sqrt{37[/tex]
[tex]CD = \sqrt{(-4+3)^2 + (-1-5)^2} = \sqrt{37}[/tex]
[tex]DA = \sqrt{(-3-3)^2 + (5-4)^2} = \sqrt{37}[/tex]
The above shows that the side lengths of the square are congruent.
Next, calculate the slope of the sides using:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m_{AB} = \frac{4 +2}{3 -2} = 6[/tex]
[tex]m_{BC} = \frac{-2 + 1}{2+4} = -\frac 16[/tex]
[tex]m_{CD} = \frac{-1 -5}{-4+3} = 6[/tex]
[tex]m_{DA} = \frac{5 -4}{-3-3} = -\frac 16[/tex]
Notice that the opposite slopes are congruent, and the adjacent slopes are opposite reciprocal.
The above highlight, and the equal side lengths show that the figure (1) is a square
How to prove the shape is a right isosceles triangle
The legs of a right isosceles triangle are congruent, and the legs are perpendicular.
So, we start by calculating the lengths of the legs using the following distance formula
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 -x_2)^2 + (y_1 -y_2)^2}[/tex]
Using the above formula, we have:
[tex]XY = \sqrt{(5-4)^2 + (-1-4)^2} = \sqrt{26[/tex]
[tex]XZ = \sqrt{(5-0)^2 + (-1+2)^2} = \sqrt{26[/tex]
The above shows that the legs of the right isosceles triangle are congruent.
Next, calculate the slope of the legs using:
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m_{XY} = \frac{5-4}{-1 -4} = -\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m_{XZ} = \frac{5-0}{-1+2} = 5[/tex]
Notice that the slopes are opposite reciprocal.
The above highlight, and the equal legs show that the figure (2) is a right isosceles triangle
