How do you find the perimeter of a parallelogram using Pythagorean theorem?

you can't, because the Pythagorean theorem is for right triangles and the triangles formed by the diagonal of a parallelogram are not right triangles.


Is a quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonal a rhombus?

Not necessarily. But a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals must always be one.


A rhombus is a square true or false?

False. Every rhombus is a parallelogram, but not every rhombus is a square. Only those that have right angles are squares. Every rhombus is a parallelogram because its diagonal lines are perpendicular, and they bisect an interior angle.


What is the diagonal of 11 square inches?

As no shape has been given for the area it is impossible to given the length of the diagonal - the diagonal can be ANY length greater than 0 (assuming you can define what diagonal means for the shape). If you are referring to a square with an area of 11 square inches then: Using Pythagoras: diagonal² = side² + side² = 2 × side² → side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 area = side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 → diagonal² = 2 × area → diagonal = √(2 × area) = √(2 × 11 sq in) = √22 in ≈ 4.69 in If you mean an 11 inch square, ie a square with 11 inches along each side: Use Pythagoras: Diagonal² = √(2 × sidelength²) → diagonal = side_length × √2 → diagonal = 11 in × √2 ≈ 15.6 in

E is the midpoint of ab and db is a diagonal of parallelogram abcd what is the ratio of areas of triangle Δabd to parallelogram abcd?

Either diagonal of a parallelogram divides the parallelogram into two triangles of equal areas. Thus area of triangle abd = half that of the parallelogram abcd. The required ratio is 1 / 2.
