Find and then compare lengths of segments. Quadrilateral $T A U L$ has vertices $T(4,6), A(6,-4), U(-4,-2),$ and $L(-2,4) .$ Show that the diagonals are congruent.
Added by Thomas S.
Step 1
Step 1:** Calculate the length of diagonal $TA$ using the distance formula: $TA = \sqrt{(6-4)^2 + (-4-6)^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + (-10)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 100} = \sqrt{104}$ ** Show more…
