(ignore the numbers)Points(Clock-wise): S(-a, b); P(a, b); Q(a, -b); R(-a, -b)


a. (find missing coordinates. I when ahead and provided all coordinates.)
b. Find the length of the diagonals
c. Describe your results in part (b) as a theorem.

S(-a, b); P(a, b); Q(a, -b); R(-a, -b)
S(-2,2);P(2,2);Q(2,-2);R(-2,-2)
a. (find missing coordinates. I when ahead and provided all coordinates.)
b. Find the length of the diagonals
S(-2,2);Q(2,-2);
Distance formula

the diagonal length
...
(-2,-2),P(2,2);
Since these pointsform a square the other diagonal will also have same length.
