Algebra.Com's Answer #8939 by venugopalramana(3286)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! cosider rhombus ABCD..we have AB=BC=CD=DA=x say..diagonals are AC and BD.consider triangle ABC..as per the property of triangles sum of any 2 sides is more than the third side..so \n" ); document.write( "AB+BC>AC..or 2x>AC \n" ); document.write( "similarly in triangle BCD,we have BC+CD>BD...or..2x>BD \n" ); document.write( "adding these 2 eqns...we have 2x+2x>AC+BD..or..4x>AC+BD \n" ); document.write( "so perimeter is more than sum of diagonals..or sum of diagonals is less than perimeter....TRUE \n" ); document.write( " |
