quadrilateral ( a b c d ) is a
if the vertex ( c(11,-1) ) were shifted to the poir
( c^{prime}(11,1) ), quadrilateral ( a b )

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the slopes of the sides

The slope formula is \(m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\).
For side \(AB\) with \(A(11,-7)\) and \(B(9,-4)\):
\(m_{AB}=\frac{-4 - (-7)}{9 - 11}=\frac{-4 + 7}{-2}=\frac{3}{-2}=-\frac{3}{2}\)
For side \(BC\) with \(B(9,-4)\) and \(C(11,-1)\):
\(m_{BC}=\frac{-1-(-4)}{11 - 9}=\frac{-1 + 4}{2}=\frac{3}{2}\)
For side \(CD\) with \(C(11,-1)\) and \(D(13,-4)\):
\(m_{CD}=\frac{-4-(-1)}{13 - 11}=\frac{-4 + 1}{2}=-\frac{3}{2}\)
For side \(DA\) with \(D(13,-4)\) and \(A(11,-7)\):
\(m_{DA}=\frac{-7-(-4)}{11 - 13}=\frac{-7 + 4}{-2}=\frac{3}{2}\)

Step2: Analyze the slopes for parallelism

We know that if two lines have the same slope, they are parallel.
\(m_{AB}=m_{CD}=-\frac{3}{2}\) and \(m_{BC}=m_{DA}=\frac{3}{2}\)
So, \(AB\parallel CD\) and \(BC\parallel DA\), which means \(ABCD\) is a parallelogram.

Step3: Check for perpendicularity

The product of the slopes of two perpendicular lines is \(- 1\).
\(m_{AB}\times m_{BC}=(-\frac{3}{2})\times(\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{9}{4} eq - 1\)
So, adjacent sides are not perpendicular.

Step4: Check for congruency of adjacent sides

The distance formula is \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
For \(AB\): \(d_{AB}=\sqrt{(9 - 11)^2+(-4 + 7)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
For \(BC\): \(d_{BC}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
Wait, no, let's recalculate:
For \(AB\): \(A(11,-7)\), \(B(9,-4)\)
\(d_{AB}=\sqrt{(9 - 11)^2+(-4+7)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2 + 3^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
For \(BC\): \(B(9,-4)\), \(C(11,-1)\)
\(d_{BC}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
Wait, no, actually, let's use another approach.
The vector approach: \(\overrightarrow{AB}=(9 - 11,-4 + 7)=(-2,3)\), \(\vert\overrightarrow{AB}\vert=\sqrt{(-2)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(\overrightarrow{BC}=(11 - 9,-1 + 4)=(2,3)\), \(\vert\overrightarrow{BC}\vert=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{13}\)
Wait, no, no! Wait the original problem:
Wait, if we calculate the lengths:
\(AB\): \(\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-7 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(BC\): \(\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1+4)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
No, wait, no:
\(AB\): \(x\) - difference \(11-9 = 2\), \(y\) - difference \(-7+4=-3\), \(d_{AB}=\sqrt{2^2+(-3)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(BC\): \(x\) - difference \(11 - 9=2\), \(y\) - difference \(-1+4 = 3\), \(d_{BC}=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{13}\)
Wait, no, actually, if we use the formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\)
For \(AB\): \(A(11,-7)\), \(B(9,-4)\)
\(d_{AB}=\sqrt{(9 - 11)^2+(-4 + 7)^2}=\sqrt{(-2)^2+3^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
For \(BC\): \(B(9,-4)\), \(C(11,-1)\)
\(d_{BC}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1+4)^2}=\sqrt{2^2+3^2}=\sqrt{13}\)
Wait, no, the problem is wrong. Wait, no, actually, let's check the slopes again.
Wait, no, the first calculation of slopes:
\(m_{AB}=\frac{-4+7}{9 - 11}=\frac{3}{-2}\), \(m_{BC}=\frac{-1 + 4}{11 - 9}=\frac{3}{2}\), \(m_{CD}=\frac{-4 + 1}{13 - 11}=-\frac{3}{2}\), \(m_{DA}=\frac{-7+4}{11 - 13}=\frac{3}{2}\)
So \(AB\parallel CD\), \(BC\parallel DA\) (parallelogram).
The product of slopes of \(AB\) and \(BC\) is \((-\frac{3}{2})\times(\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{9}{4} eq - 1\) (not perpendicular)
The length of \(AB\): \(\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-7 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
The length of \(BC\): \(\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1+4)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\) (congruent adjacent sides? No, wait no:
Wait \(A(11,-7)\), \(B(9,-4)\): \(d_{AB}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-7+4)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(B(9,-4)\), \(C(11,-1)\): \(d_{BC}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}\) (so congruent adjacent sides? No, wait no, in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal. Wait, no, in a parallelogram \(AB = CD\), \(BC=DA\). But if \(AB = BC\), then it's a rhombus. But the slopes:
Wait, no, the original problem:
If we calculate the lengths correctly:
\(AB\): \(A(11,-7)\), \(B(9,-4)\)
\(d_{AB}=\sqrt{(9 - 11)^2+(-4+7)^2}=\sqrt{4 + 9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(BC\): \(B(9,-4)\), \(C(11,-1)\)
\(d_{BC}=\sqrt{(11 - 9)^2+(-1 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(CD\): \(C(11,-1)\), \(D(13,-4)\)
\(d_{CD}=\sqrt{(13 - 11)^2+(-4 + 1)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}\)
\(DA\): \(D(13,-4)\), \(A(11,-7)\)
\(d_{DA}=\sqrt{(11 - 13)^2+(-7 + 4)^2}=\sqrt{4+9}=\sqrt{13}\)
So it's a rhombus (all sides equal). But the slopes: \(m_{AB}=-\frac{3}{2}\), \(m_{BC}=\frac{3}{2}\), \(m_{AB}\times m_{BC}=-\frac{9}{4} eq - 1\) (not perpendicular)
So the answer is 'rhombus with non - perpendicular adjacent sides'

Answer:

rhombus with nonperpendicular adjacent sides
