can you explain? thank you Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You would use the distance formula since this formula computes the distance between two points. If you know the coordinates of all four points, then you can find the distance from the opposite vertices. In other words, you can find the lengths of the diagonals using the distance formula. Since there is no point in using the midpoint formula, the answer is A)
