What does bisect mean in geometry?
bisect means to cut into 2 equal parts.
What does bisect mean?
Bisect means to cut something in to two pieces.
How many diagonals in nonagon and decagon?
it depends on what you mean by a diagonal. If you take a diagonal to mean a line from one corner to the "opposite" corner, then a nonagon doesn't have any, and a decagon has five. The reason a nonagon doesn't have any, is that the corners aren't opposite each other.
What does it mean to bisect a line segment?
Basically the definition of bisect is to separate two parts of a line segment to create two congruent line segments, which leads to them being equal.
How many pairs of parallel diagonals in an octagon?
This assumes you mean a regular octagon. There are 4 pairs where the diagonals each skip two vertices. Then there are 4 sets of three parallel diagonals where one is the main diagonal (skips three vertices) and two skip just one vertex. For each of these sets of three, you can choose three pairs of two. That makes 12 pairs all up. So there are 4 + 12 = 16 pairs.
Do all rectangles have diagonals which bisect?
It depends on what you mean by bisect. All rectangles have diagonals that bisect the other one. Only certain rectangles (Squares) have diagonals that bisect its vertex, the ninety degree angle.
What is meant by diagonals bisect each other?
By bisecting , we mean cutting into half. So , when the diagonals bisect each other , they then are actually dividing each other into two equal halves. For example , like in quadilaterals , (perhaps parallelograms) , like square,rectangle,rhombus , etc.
The diagonals of a quadrilateral must bisect each other?
The answer is no the diagonals do not have to bisect each other. That does not necessarily mean that there isn't a quadrilateral that has bisecting diagonals. A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon which is a close plane figure; in this case with four sides. Meaning that all ends of the straight lines that configure a polygon must connect someway, somehow.
Does to intersect each other mean also to bisect each other?
No. If two lines intersect they cross each other. To bisect each other, means that the lines not only intersect but that also that the point where the two line[ segment]s cross is the mid point of both of the line[ segment]s. Examples, consider: The diagonals of a kite ABCD with sides AB & AD equal (2 cm each), and BC & DC equal and twice the length of the other two sides (4 cm each). The diagonals AC and BD intersect each other; BD is bisected by AC but AC is NOT bisected by BD. The diagonals of a right angle trapezium ABCD with ∠DAB and ∠ADC right angles (so sides AB and DC are parallel) and with sides AB = 2 cm, CD = 14 cm and AD = 5 cm (side BC = 13 cm). The diagonals AC and BD intersect, but NEITHER bisects the other. The diagonals AC and BD of a square ABCD not only intersect each other, but they also do, in this case, bisect each other.
What does it mean for diagonals are perpendicular to each other?
yes * * * * * It means that they meet each other at 90 degree angles.
Can parralelogram bisect each other at right angle?
If you mean parallelograms (not parralelogram), the answer is yes, it is possible but very unlikely.
What does bisect mean in geometry?
bisect means to cut into 2 equal parts.
What does it mean to bisect a shape?
Bi- means two. SO to bisect means to cut into two.
How many diagonals does triskaicagon have?
If you mean a triskaidecagon then it has 65 diagonals
What does bisect mean?
Bisect means to cut something in to two pieces.
Does the mean of triangle bisect the area of triangle?
The answer depends on what you mean by "mean of triangle". There is no such geometric term.
Are the diagonals of an isosceles always congruent?
If you mean an isosceles triangle then no because all triangles have no diagonals
