Question 50742: HEY!
I have this problem that I can not figure out!
"The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are A(0,2), B(4,8), C(7,6) and D(3,0). Show that the diagonals are equal in length." I tried to solve this by drawing it out on graph paper but I do not know how to show that the diagonals are equal in length.
Thank you if you can help,
Student in need

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you draw this out, you get:
A----B
| ....... |
C----D
Use the distance formula to determine the lengths of the diagonals, and that is how you would prove it!
