Solution

To determine the type of quadrilateral, we need to calculate the distances between the points.

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula √[(x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²].

  1. Distance QR = √[(-2-1)² + (-1-2)²] = √[9 + 9] = √18
  2. Distance RS = √[(1+2)² + (-4+1)²] = √[9 + 9] = √18
  3. Distance ST = √[(4-1)² + (-1+4)²] = √[9 + 9] = √18
  4. Distance TQ = √[(1-4)² + (2+1)²] = √[9 + 9] = √18

Since all sides are equal, QRST is a rhombus.

Next, we need to check if it's a square or a rectangle. For this, we calculate the distances of the diagonals.

  1. Distance QS = √[(1-1)² + (-4-2)²] = √[0 + 36] = 6
  2. Distance RT = √[(-2-4)² + (-1+1)²] = √[36 + 0] = 6

Since the diagonals are equal, QRST is a square.

So, the correct answers are c. rhombus and d. square.
