The coordinates of the vertices of parallelogram rmbs are r(–4, 5), m(1, 4), b(2, –1), and s(–3, 0). using the diagonals, prove that rmbs is a rhombus. show all your work and state appropriate formulas and theorems used.

To prove a rhombus you need to show that the sides are congruent and the diagonals are perpendicular.

Sides:

≅ ≅ ≅

Diagonals:

Use the slope formula:

       = -1

       = 1

Slopes are opposite reciprocals so they are perpendicular.

***************************************************************************

All of the sides are congruent and the diagonals are perpendicular so RMBS is a rhombus.

the highest percentage for deaths in construction from highest to lowest is as follows: falls, struck by objects, electrocution, and caught-in/between. these four are collectively known as fatal four.

in the case of falls, the type that is responsible for the overall highest death in the category is falls from roofs.
