[tex]A(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad D(\stackrel{x_2}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{4}) ~\hfill AD=\sqrt{[ -9- (-3)]^2 + [ 4- (-2)]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{AD=\sqrt{72}} \\\\\\ D(\stackrel{x_1}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad Q(\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) ~\hfill DQ=\sqrt{[ -4- (-9)]^2 + [ 9- 4]^2} \\\\\\ ~\hfill \boxed{DQ=\sqrt{50}}[/tex]
now, let's take a peek at that above, DQ = UA and QU = AD, so opposite sides of the polygon are equal.
Now, let's check the slopes of DQ and QU
[tex]D(\stackrel{x_1}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad Q(\stackrel{x_2}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{9}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{9}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{-4}-\underset{x_1}{(-9)}}} \implies \cfrac{9 -4}{-4 +9}\implies \cfrac{5}{5}\implies \cfrac{1}{1}\implies 1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill[/tex]
[tex]Q(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad U(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{3}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{3}-\stackrel{y1}{9}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{2}-\underset{x_1}{(-4)}}} \implies \cfrac{3 -9}{2 +4}\implies \cfrac{-6}{6}\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}\implies -1[/tex]
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's notice that the reciprocal of 1/1 is just 1/1 and the negative of that is just -1/1 or -1, so QU has a slope that is really just the negative reciprocal of DQ, those two lines are perpendicular, thus making a 90° angle, and their congruent opposite sides will also make a 90°, that makes QUAD hmmm yeap, you guessed it.
