Show that A(-3,-1), B(-4,-1), C(3,3) andD (4,3) are the vertices of a rhombus.(R.S Aggarwal pg no. 668 Q no 13)
Let A(-3, -1), B(-4, -1), C(3, 3) and D (4, 3) be the vertices of rhombus ABCD.
We know that, diagonals of rhombus bisect each other.
∴ Coordinate of mid point of diagonal BD = Coordinate of mid point of diagonal AC
Coordinate of mid point of diagonal BD = [(-4+4)/2, (-1 + 3)/2] = (0, 1)
Coordinate of mid point of diagonal AC = [(-3 + 3)/2, (-1 + 3)/2] = (0, 1)
Since the coordinates are equal, therefore A(-3, -1), B(-4, -1), C(3, 3) and D (4, 3) are the vertices of rhombus.
