What are the maximum numbers of diagonal a quadrilateral can have?
Two of them
What quadrilateral has two lines of symmetry that are not diagonal?
A rectangle.
Why is a kite a quadrilateral?
A kite is a quadrilateral because it has four sides. In addition, two of its opposite sides are congruent (equal in length), which is a defining characteristic of a kite.
Is a quadrilateral a three dimensional figure?
no it is a 4 dimensional figure not a 3 dimensional figure * * * * * No. A quadrilateral is a two dimensional figure. It has a length and a breadth and no more.
Quadrilateral with one diagonal that divides it into two congruent equilateral triangles?

What is a segment that joins two vertices of a quadrilateral but is not a side?
A diagonal --Algebra 2 Teacher
Is kites each diagonal divides the given quadrilateral into two congruent triangles?
Yes
What is diagonal of quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is an object formed by four straight lines - two of which meet at an angle. A diagonal is one of the lines which go from one angle to the one other angle in the quadrilateral which it is not already connected to. If the angles of the quadrilateral are A, B, C and D, and A is connected by a straight line to B and D then the diagonal is a line between A and C. A--B | \ | D--C
How can you used a triangle to prove quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
A quadrilateral, in general, is not a parallelogram. If it is a parallelogram then you will have some additional information about its sides and angles. If you do not have such information it is not possible to prove that it is a parallelogram. Draw a diagonal which will divide the quadrilateral into two triangles and use the additional information that you have to show that the triangles are congruent. This can then be used to show equality of sides or of angles: the latter can then be used to show that sides are parallel. Note that the choice of which diagonal may influence how (if at all) you proceed.
How many triangles are there in a quadrilateral?
You can divide a quadrilateral up into as many triangles as you want, but at least two.
Will diagonal of a trapezium divide it into two equal halves?
ya it will........
Prove that the perimeter of a quadrilateral is greater than the sum of the length of its diagonal?
The shortest path between two points is a straight line. This is a mathematical fact, which can be proven in another question.The diagonal of a quadrilateral is a straight line between two opposing (non-adjacent) vertices. The perimeter of a quadrilateral will include two separate paths between the same vertices. The difference is that these two paths are each composed of two linked line segments, so each of these paths will be longer than the diagonal.Therefore, the length of the perimeter of a quadrilateral will be greater than twice the length of either diagonal.
