Explanation:

1. The in - center of a triangle is the point of intersection of the angle bisectors of a triangle. The circum - center is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides, the ortho - center is the intersection of the altitudes, and the centroid is the intersection of the medians.
2. For a quadrilateral to be a rectangle using coordinates, opposite sides must be parallel (equal slopes) and all angles must be right angles (product of slopes of adjacent sides is - 1). Another way is to show that opposite sides have the same length and diagonals have the same length. Among the given options, "Opposite sides are parallel and all angles are right angles" is the most comprehensive.
3. If a square is inscribed in a circle of radius \(r\), the diameter of the circle is the diagonal of the square. Let the side of the square be \(a\). Using the Pythagorean theorem for the square (\(d^{2}=a^{2}+a^{2}\), where \(d = 2r\)), we have \((2r)^{2}=2a^{2}\), so \(a^{2}=2r^{2}\), which is the area of the square.
4. The distance \(d\) between two points \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is given by the formula \(d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2}+(y_2 - y_1)^{2}}\). For points \((2,-2)\) and \((- 5,6)\), \(d=\sqrt{(-5 - 2)^{2}+(6 + 2)^{2}}=\sqrt{(-7)^{2}+8^{2}}=\sqrt{49 + 64}=\sqrt{113}\approx10.6\) units.

Answer:

1. b. In - center
2. c. Opposite sides are parallel and all angles are right angles
3. b. \(2r^{2}\)
4. d. 10.6 units
