Question 11 • Reading HS- Integrated Math I

To show that 4 points are the vertices of a square, which of the following must be shown?

Answer
A
All sides are of equal length.
B
The diagonals are of equal length.
C
All sides are of equal length and the diagonals are of equal length.
D
All sides are parallel and the diagonals are of equal length.

Explanation

A square has four equal sides and two equal-length diagonals. Showing only equal sides could also describe a rhombus, which need not be a square; showing both properties identifies the square. Therefore, the best answer is “All sides are of equal length and the diagonals are of equal length.”
