What are necessary when proving that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent?
A ruler or a compass would help or aternatively use Pythagoras' theorem to prove that the diagonals are of equal lengths
What is necessary when proving that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent?
1. Opposite sides are parallel 2. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Are necessary when proving that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent?
A basic knowledge of angles when two parallel lines meet a transversal is necessary.
What are necessary when proving that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent?
A. Corresponding parts of similar triangles are similar.B. Alternate interior angles are supplementary.C. Alternate interior angles are congruent.D. Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent
Why do you think that diagonals bisect each other for proving that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
The diagonals divide the quadrilateral into four sections. You can then use the bisection to prove that opposite triangles are congruent (SAS). That can then enable you to show that the alternate angles at the ends of the diagonal are equal and that shows one pair of sides is parallel. Repeat the process with the other pair of triangles to show that the second pair of sides is parallel. A quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel lines is a parallelogram.
