What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram , but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= [tex](\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]

Mid point of BD= [tex](\dfrac{-3+2}{2},\dfrac{5+2}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})[/tex]

Thus, Mid point of AC=Mid point of BD

i.e. diagonals bisect each other.

That means ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we plot these points on a graph as given in the attachment. From the attachment, we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis. Also, AB ||CD, which will make ABCD a parallelogram, but to confirm, we check the parallelogram property "diagonals bisect each other," i.e., "Midpoint of both diagonals is equal."

The midpoint of AC=. The midpoint of BD=. Thus, the Midpoint of AC=Mid point of BD diagonals bisects each other. That means ABCD is a parallelogram.
