6 ANS:
. To prove that TEAM is a rhombus, show that all sides are congruent using the distance formula:
. A square has four right angles. If TEAM is a square, then
,
,
and
. Lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals of each
other. The slopes of sides of TEAM are:
Because
and
are not
opposite reciprocals, consecutive sides of TEAM are not perpendicular, and TEAM is not a square.
