LMNP is a parallelogram.

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram L M N P is shown. Point L is at (negative 4, 1), point M is at (2, 4), point N is at (3, 2), and point P is at (negative 3, negative 1).

What additional information would prove that LMNP is a rectangle?

The length of LM is StartRoot 45 EndRoot and the length of MN is StartRoot 5 EndRoot.
The slope of LP and MN is –2.
LM ∥ PN
LP ⊥ PN

Answer:

LP ⊥ PN

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L = (-4, 1)[/tex]

[tex]M = (2, 4)[/tex]

[tex]N = (3, 2)[/tex]

[tex]P = (-3, -1)[/tex]

What proves LMNP is a rectangle

The additional information needed is LP ⊥ PN

Because:

[tex](a)\ LM= \sqrt{45}; MN = \sqrt{5}[/tex]

This can be true for other shapes, such as trapezoid, etc.

[tex](b)\ m(LP) = m(MN) = -2[/tex]

The slopes of LP and MN will be the same because both sides are parallel; However, this is not peculiar to rectangles alone. Same as option (c)

(d) LP ⊥ PN

This must be true i.e. LP must be perpendicular to PN
