You can use the distance formula to show that all four sides are the same length. The shape must, therefore, be a rhombus or square.
If you then show that the length of the diagonal is sqrt(2) times the length of the side then, by Pythagoras, the diagonal and sides from a right angled triangle. The shape must, therefore, be a square.

What is the distance between the points -2 2 and 2 -2?
the distance formula for coordinates is : d=square root of ( 2nd x coordinate minus 1st x coordinate)squared plus(2nd y coordinate minus 1st y coordinate) squared sorry if it's a little confusing
In a rectangular coordinate system what is the distance from 1 1 to 6 5?
square root of 41
What is the formula to get the distance of square?

How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate grid?
-- Square the difference between their 'x'-values. -- Square the difference between their 'y'-values. -- Add the two squares. -- Take the square-root of the sum. The result is the distance between the points.
How would you find the distance of two points if the line segment that connects them were vertical?
Exactly in the same way as using the formula for any straight line between two points which is:- Square root of [(x1-x2)squared+(y1-y2)squared]
What is the distance formula in the coordinate plane?
It is the square root of: (x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2

What is the coordinate figure of a square with sides of 3 units?
As the square is of 3units it. Will be (3,3).
What is is the approximate distance between two points (negative 51) and ( negative 23) on a coordinate grid?
If you mean points of (-5, 1) and (-2, 3) then using the distance formula it is the square root of 13 or about 3.6
What is the approximate distance between the points -51 and -23 on a coordinate grid?
If you mean points of (-5, 1) and (-2, 3) then using the distance formula it is the square root of 13 or about 3.61 rounded to 2 decimal places
Distance from origin to point?
The origin on a graph is the point (0,0).You can find the distance to a point by applying the Pythagorean theorem:Square the x coordinate and add it to the square of the y - coordinate of the point.Now take the square root of your answer.The result is the straight line distance from the origin to the point.
What is the formula of distance?
It is the same as the distance formula. DISTANCE FORMULA: d=square root of (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
What is the formula of area and perimeter in 3 grade?
Area is the number of square unit needed to cover a surface. Perimeter of a figure is the distance around the figure Perimeter is measurements of each sides added.
In a rectangular coordinate system what is the distance from 1 1 to 6 5?
square root of 41
What is the formula to get the distance of square?

How do you find the distance from the origin to a point on the graph?
-- square the point's x-coordinate -- square the point's y-coordinate -- add the two squares together -- take the square-root of the sum -- the answer is the distance of the point from the origin. This works because if you draw a line down from the point to the x-axis (length is y-coordinate), then along the x-axis to the origin (length is x-coordinate), and back to the point (length is distance), you just made a right triangle. Then you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the long side (the distance) since you know the length of the two shorter sides.
What is the formula for meter to square meter?
There is no formula - it is an invalid conversion. Meters are a measure of length or distance and square meters are a measure of area.
