Question 1131983: The coordinates of the vertices of parallelogram ABCD are A(−1, −3), B(7, 2), C(5, 8), and D(−3, 3). Using
the diagonals, determine whether or not ABCD is a rhombus. Show all your work and state appropriate
formulas and theorems used.

The rhombus has the following properties: All the properties of a parallelogram apply (the ones that matter here are parallel sides, opposite angles are congruent, and consecutive angles are supplementary). All sides are congruent by definition. The diagonals bisect the angles.

let’s check if all four sides are congruent
