It's a bit messy but im sure you get what im goin at here. This is what i've got so far:

1. Given

2. AB= \(3^2+1^2=c^2\)

9+1=c^2

sqrt(10)=sqrt(c^2)

c=sqrt(10)

BC=\(3^2+1^2=c^2\)

9+1=c^2

sqrt(10)=sqrt(c^2)

c=sqrt(10)

CD=\(3^2+1^2=c^2\)

9+1=c^2

sqrt(10)=sqrt(c^2)

c=sqrt(10)

DA=\(3^2+1^2=c^2\)

9+1=c^2

sqrt(10)=sqrt(c^2)

c=sqrt(10)

3. \(AB\cong BC\cong CD \cong DA\)

4. I'm stuck here >.< 

I know that they are congruent but how do i prove that and i know that it is obviously a square

Uhh is it 

AC=1/3

BD=3/-1=-3/1

1/3*-3/1=-3/3=-1

Here's the way I might do it, RP

 

1. Find the side lengths

 

2. Show that the diagonals have the same length

 

3. Show that the length  of any side = 

   

     diagonal length / √2

 

3. This will mean that we have a  square because the sides are congruent,  the diagonals are congruent and because of the proof of  (3),   they will meet at right angles

And how do I do that...

Example .....to find a side length.....use the distance formula

 

Are you familiar with this???

 

Distance from A to B   =

 

sqrt  [ ( 1 - 2)^2 + (3 - 0)^2 ]  = sqrt [ (-1)^2 + 3^2] = sqrt [ 1 + 9 ] =  sqrt (10)

 

Then find the distances between B,C     C,D      and      D,A

 

They should all be =  sqrt (10)

 

Let me know if you have trouble
