All length of sides are equal
∴
It can be a square or rhombus
∴
Length of diagonals.

∴
length of diagonals are not equal
∴
ABCD is a rhombus not a square.
Hence proved.

Q.
Locate the points A (1, 2), B (3, 4) and C (5, 2) on a graph sheet taking suitable axes. Write the coordinates of the fourth point D in order to complete the rhombus ABCD. Measure the diagonals of this rhombus and check whether they are equal or not.
