Solution

Given
let the points be A,B,C,D.
distance between points = ((x2x1)2+(y2y1)2)
so distance of AB2=(4(2))2+(1+4)2=13 units.
Similarly,
distance of BC2 = 20 units.
distance of CD2 = 13 units
distance of DC2 = 20 units
therefore, opp sides are equal
diagonals distance are also equal i.e. AC=BD
diagonals and opp sides are equal they are vertices of rectangle
