Best Answer

For a square with side S. There will be the 4 small triangles each with sides {S/sqrt(2),S/sqrt(2),S}. Then also you can 'see' 4 larger triangles, each with sides {S,S,S*sqrt(2)}

Do the diagonals of a trapezoid bisect each other?

No, never. A trapezoid may have diagonals of equal length (isosceles trapezoid), but they do not intersect at their midpoints.Draw the diagonals of a trapezoid, for example, an isosceles trapezoid, thereby creating 4 triangles inside the trapezoid. Now assume the diagonals do bisect each other. The congruent corresponding sides of the top and bottom triangles with the included vertical angle would make the triangles congruent by the side-angle-side theorem. But this is a contradiction since the respective bases of the triangles, forming the top and bottom of the trapezoid are, of course, not equal. Therefore, the triangles cannot be congruent. Hence, we have given proof by contradiction that diagonals in a trapezoid cannot bisect each other.


What is the main reason a squares diagonals bisect each other?

The opposite sides of a square are parallel and of equal length. Therefore the opposite triangles that the diagonals make are congruent and, as a result, they bisect on another. This is also the reason that they do so in all parallelograms.


Does 2 equilateral triangles make a square?

No two equilateral triangles do not make a square but two right triangles do.


Is a diamond a rigid shape?

A diamond is not a rigid shape unless it has a brace. A brace is a diagonal line you put inside shapes to make them rigid. Triangles are rigid so if you put a brace in a square to make two triangles the square is now rigid.
