Use coordinate geometry to prove properties of congruent, regular, and similar quadrilaterals.

Remarks

Coordinate geometry is used while students prove quadrilaterals to be congruent, similar, or regular.

Coordinate geometry is used to prove properties of quadrilaterals.

Example: Given a quadrilateral with vertices (0, 0), (5/2, 5sqrt(3)/2), (5, 0), (7, 7sqrt(3)/3), prove that the diagonals of this quadrilateral are perpendicular.

Example: Is rectangle ABCD with vertices at A(0, 0), B(4, 0), C(4, 2), D(0, 2) congruent to rectangle PQRS with vertices at P(-2, -1), Q(2, -1), R(2, 1), S(-2, 1)? Justify your answer.
