Classifying Quadrilaterals in the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial covers three examples of identifying quadrilaterals. Example A involves determining if a given parallelogram is a rectangle or square by checking the equality of diagonals and side lengths. Example B examines whether a quadrilateral formed by four lines is a parallelogram by comparing slopes. Example C identifies a quadrilateral as a kite by verifying pairs of congruent sides using the distance formula.

What formula is used to determine the length between two points?

• Slope formula

• Distance formula

• Perimeter formula

• Area formula

If the diagonals of a parallelogram are equal, what shape can it be identified as?

• Any parallelogram

• Rhombus

• Rectangle

• Square

What indicates that a parallelogram is not a square?

• Equal diagonals

• One pair of parallel sides

• All sides of equal length

• Sides of different lengths

What does the slope-intercept formula look like?

• y = mx + b

• y = mx^2 + b

• x = my + b

• y = m / x + b

How can you determine if a quadrilateral is a parallelogram using lines?

• By checking if all angles are 90 degrees

• By verifying if all sides are equal

• By confirming two pairs of equal slopes

• By ensuring all sides are parallel

What does it mean if a quadrilateral's sides have two pairs of equal slopes?

• It's a rectangle

• It's a square

• It's a parallelogram

• It's a rhombus

What is the result of applying the distance formula to sides RS and VT in a kite?

• Root 50 for both

• Cannot be determined

• Root 90 for both

• Different lengths for each

What characteristic does a kite have regarding its sides?

• Opposite sides are parallel

• All angles are equal

• Two pairs of adjacent sides are congruent

• All sides are equal

What distinguishes a convex quadrilateral from a concave one?

• All angles pointing outwards

• At least one angle pointing inwards

• All sides of equal length

• Two pairs of parallel sides

Why is the given quadrilateral not considered a dart?

• Because it has equal diagonals

• Because it is a convex figure

• Because it is a concave figure

• Because it has unequal sides
