Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's go through the questions one by one and provide the necessary solutions:
20. In rectangle ABCD, find .
- The diagram shows a rectangle, and since is part of a right triangle formed by the diagonal of the rectangle, is 45°. This is because diagonals of a rectangle bisect the angles, and each angle formed by the diagonal is 45° in a rectangle.
- Answer: .
21. If , then .
- In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal. Therefore, if , then because .
- Answer: .
22. If , then .
- In a rectangle, the diagonals are congruent. Therefore, . If , then .
- Answer: .
23. If , then .
- The diagram shows that is half of the diagonal, and since diagonals of a rectangle are equal, .
- Answer: .
24. In rhombus EFGH, if , then .
- In a rhombus, all sides are congruent. Therefore, . Since , we have:
- Answer: .
25. Find .
- In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Thus, .
- Answer: .
26. If , then .
- In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other. Therefore, is half of the full diagonal . So, .
- Answer: .
27. If , then .
- In a rhombus, opposite angles are equal, and the sum of adjacent angles is 180°. Since , we can calculate .
- Answer: .
Would you like further details or clarifications on any of these? Here are five related questions to explore further:
- What are the properties of a rhombus that distinguish it from a square?
- How do you calculate the length of the diagonal in a rectangle given the side lengths?
- Why are the diagonals of a rectangle always congruent?
- How do the diagonals of a rhombus affect its symmetry and angles?
- Can you explain why opposite angles in a rhombus are always equal?
Tip: In any quadrilateral with equal diagonals, such as rectangles, the properties of symmetry help simplify many angle and length calculations.
