It makes sense because it is true. There are other quadrilaterals whose diagonals are perpendicular.

Q: Why does it make sense knowing the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular is not sufficient to show the quadrilateral is a rhombus?

How do you find the measures of a rhombus with two diagonals?

That will depend on the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus which are of different lengths and intersect each other at right angles but knowing the lengths of the diagonals of the rhombus it is then possible to work out its perimeter and area.


What would the area of a rectangle be with a b equals 8in and a h equals 5in be?

Without knowing where a, b and h are, we have no way of knowing whether ab and ah are lengths, widths or diagonals and consequently, no way of determining the area.


How do you draw a polygon with 2 pairs of parallel sides 2 pairs of sides equal in length and 2 acute and 2 obtuse angles and all the possible names for it?

It is difficult to give instructions about drawing a figure without knowing what information (side lengths, angle measures, diagonals) you have about it.A parallelogram. And, if all four sides are of the same length, then a rhombus. or a rhombus.It is difficult to give instructions about drawing a figure without knowing what information (side lengths, angle measures, diagonals) you have about it.A parallelogram.

Are two lines with the same y intercept are perpendicular?

Knowing that they have the same y-intercept, and knowing nothing else, the only thing you can say about the two lines is that they have the same y-intercept. That fact doesn't tell you anything else about them.


What will you have if you multiply the length and side of a quadrilateral?

What do you mean by "length" as different from "side"? The multiplication will result in a number, that's it! Without knowing the angles and or the lengths of the other sides you have insufficient information to make any conclusions as to what that number represents. But if it is a right angled quadrilateral (a rectangle) you get the area.

How do you draw velocity and acceleration diagrams?

Velocity diagrams are drawn perpendicular to the link ....whereas acceleration diagrams are drawn by knowing the values 2 components radial or centripetal component and tangential component.......the radial component moves parallel to the link and perpendicular to the velocity diagram.....but the tangential component moves perpendicular to the link and parallel to the velocity diagram .


What is the meaning of the normal force perpendicular to the surface of the contact?

In this context ... referring to directions at a surface ... the word "normal" doesn't mean 'usual' or 'typical'. It means the direction perpendicular to the surface. Knowing this strange (abnormal) use of the word should clear up the confusion.


What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to -x y 7 and passes through -1 -1?

Without an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of y and 7 it can't be considered to be a straight line equation therefore finding its perpendicular equation is impossible.


What is the formula of finding the interior angles of a quadrilateral?

IF it is a cyclic quadrilateral (all four vertices on one circle), then opposite angles add to 180 degrees. So knowing one will enable you to find the other. The sum of the four angles is 360 degrees. So if you know three you can work out the fourth.


What is the sq footage of a lot measuring 260' by 170' by 240' by 52'?

It isn't possible to know without knowing the shape of the lot. If you could measure the diagonals, then with that information along with the length of each side, it would be possible to say. If you knew the diagonals, then this equation could be used to give your answer: Area = 1/4 X square root (4p2q2 - (a2 + c2 - b2 - d2)2) p and q are the diagonals a, b, c, d are the four perimeter measurements.


How do you find the angle of a quadrilateral if your using 3 angles and you don't know one of the three angless on it?

A quadrilateral has 4 interior angles that add up to 360 degrees and to find the unknown 4th angle while knowing the other 3 angles simply add them up and subtract the sum from 360 to find the 4th angle


Are the lines y -x-4 and 5x 5y 20 perpendicular?

With out any equality signs and not knowing the plus or minus values of some of the given terms they can't be considered to be straight line equations.
