Question
Prove that the points (0 , 2) , (1 , 1) , (4 , 4) and (3 , 5) are the vertices of a rectangle.
Solution
AB = `sqrt ((0 - 1)^2 + (2 - 1)^2) = sqrt 2` units
BC = `sqrt ((1 - 4)^2 + (1 - 4)^2) = 3 sqrt 2` units
CD = `sqrt ((4 - 3)^2 + (4 - 5)^2) = sqrt 2` units
DA = `sqrt ((3 - 0)^2 + (5 - 2)^2) = 3 sqrt 2` units
AC = `sqrt ((4 - 0)^2 + (4 - 2)^2) = sqrt 20 = 2 sqrt 5` units
BC = `sqrt ((3 - 1)^2 + (5 - 1)^2) = sqrt 20 = 2 sqrt 5` units
∵ AB = CD and BC = DA
Also , AC = BD
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.

Find distance between point A(–1, 1) and point B(5, –7):
Solution: Suppose A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2)
x1 = –1, y1 = 1 and x2 = 5, y2 = – 7
Using distance formula,
d(A, B) = `sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square +[(-7) + square]^2`
∴ d(A, B) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(A, B) = `square`
