Answer:

distance formula; definition of congruence ; if two consecutive sides of a rectangle are congruent, then it's a square

Explanation:

Given that RSTU is a rectangle with vertices;

[tex]\begin{gathered} R(0,0),S(0,a),T(a,a)\text{ and U(a,0)} \\ a\ne0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, using the distance formula;

[tex]RS=a\text{ units}[/tex]

Reason; distance formula

[tex]ST=a\text{ units}[/tex]

Since both side RS and ST have the same length, then;

[tex]RS\cong ST[/tex]

Reason: definition of congruence

So, since two consecutive sides of a rectangle are congruent then;

[tex]\text{RSTU is a Square}[/tex]

Reason: if two consecutive sides of a rectangle are congruent, then it's a square
