Question

lmnp is a parallelogram.

what additional information would prove that lmnp is a rectangle?

• the length of \\(\overline{lm}\\) is \\(\sqrt{45}\\) and the length of \\(\overline{mn}\\) is \\(\sqrt{5}\\).
• the slope of \\(\overline{lp}\\) and \\(\overline{mn}\\) is \\(-2\\).
• \\(\overline{lm} \parallel \overline{pn}\\)
• \\(\overline{lp} \perp \overline{pn}\\)

Identify the given conditions

Using the Properties of Parallelograms knowledge point
\[
\text{Given: } LMNP \text{ is a parallelogram.}
\]

Recall the definition of a rectangle

Using the Properties of Rectangles knowledge point
\[
\text{A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles.}
\]

Analyze the geometric requirements

To prove a parallelogram is a rectangle, we must show it has at least one right angle (perpendicular consecutive sides).
\[
\overline{LP} \perp \overline{PN} \implies \angle LPN = 90^\circ
\]

Evaluate the given multiple-choice options

• Option 1: Side lengths do not guarantee right angles.
• Option 2: Slopes of opposite sides being equal is already true for any parallelogram.
• Option 3: Parallel opposite sides are already true for any parallelogram.
• Option 4: Perpendicular consecutive sides \(\overline{LP} \perp \overline{PN}\) guarantees a right angle.
