No. The diagonal through a rectangle can be computed via the Pythagorean theorem:

c2 = a2 + b2

where c is the diagonal length and a and b are the horizontal and vertical lengths of the rectangle.

What is a quadrilateral that has 4 lines of symmetry?

This is the square. In case you're wondering about the 4 lines of symmetry, they are a vertical line through the middle, a horizontal line across through the middle, and the two diagonal lines drawn in from corner to corner. Only the square will be symmetrical with any of those 4 lines.


How do you trisect a rectangle?

To trisect a rectangle first draw the two diagonals (lines going from the top left corner, to the bottom right and top right to bottom left.) Where those two diagonals intersect is the center of the rectangle. Next, draw a line through the center of the rectangle that is parallel to the top and bottom of the rectangle. this should divide the rectangle into two halves. Next draw the diagonal for the top half of the rectangle (A line from the top left corner, to the middle of the right side.) Where this diagonal intersects with the diagonal of the diagonal of the entire rectangle is 1/3 the length. Repeat the previous step for the bottom half of the rectangle. The line connecting the top intersection, and the bottom intersection is the trisection line.

Can you Find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle whose dimensions are fifteenm by sixm Approximate to the nearest hundredth?

I can and will. So if you put the diagonal through a rectangle you create a right angled triangle of which you can use pythagoras theorem. x2 = 152 + 62 x2= 261 x = 16.16m
