Algebra.Com's Answer #567065 by vleith(2983)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a. Imagine a diamond shape (rhombus). Are the opposite sides the same length? yes. Is it a rectangle? no\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b. Now add in the measurement that the diagonals are equal. This makes the parallelogram a rectangle. So and and b together is a rectangle\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c. Measuring a right angle only proves a and b were enough. In fact, a and c will also be enough\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
