Answer:

None of the given quadrilaterals. It's a trapezium (Irregular quadrilateral).

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark the points on a coordinate system (look at the picture).

We have the quadrilateral.

It's not a square.

It's not a rectangle.

It's not a rombus.

Maybe it's a trapezoid.

If it is a trapezoid, then the segments AC abd DB must be parallel.

If the segmets of a line are parallel, then they have the same slopes.

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Substitute the coordintes of the points.

The slope of a segment AC:

A(8, -1), C(17, 4)

[tex]m_{AC}=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{17-8}=\dfrac{5}{9}[/tex]

The slope of a segment DB:

D(8, -4), B(13, -1)

[tex]m_{DB}=\dfrac{-1-(-4)}{13-8}=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

[tex]m_{AC}\neq m_{DB}[/tex]

AC and CB are not parallel. Therefore its not a trapezoid.
