What do diagnal mean?
Diagonal is a straight line through a figure from one corner to another corner, for example, the diagonal divided the square into two triangles.
Prove that the perimeter of a quadrilateral is greater than the sum of the length of its diagonal?
The shortest path between two points is a straight line. This is a mathematical fact, which can be proven in another question.The diagonal of a quadrilateral is a straight line between two opposing (non-adjacent) vertices. The perimeter of a quadrilateral will include two separate paths between the same vertices. The difference is that these two paths are each composed of two linked line segments, so each of these paths will be longer than the diagonal.Therefore, the length of the perimeter of a quadrilateral will be greater than twice the length of either diagonal.
What is diagonal of quadrilateral?
A quadrilateral is an object formed by four straight lines - two of which meet at an angle. A diagonal is one of the lines which go from one angle to the one other angle in the quadrilateral which it is not already connected to. If the angles of the quadrilateral are A, B, C and D, and A is connected by a straight line to B and D then the diagonal is a line between A and C. A--B | \ | D--C
Is a curved line longer than a straight loni?
Not sure what a loni is. On a plane surface, a curved line between any two fixed points is longer than the straight line joining the same points.
What is a diagonal in a shape?
A diagonal in a shape is a straight line from one vertex to another vertex (corner).
Is a diagonal line a sideways line or a straight line?
sideways at an angle-picture a square. From the top right corner to bottom left-that's diagonal.
What is a straight line connecting opposite corners across a straight sided plane shape?
It is a diagonal
What shape is a diagonal give some picture?
A diagonal has no shape, it is a straight line between the angles of a multi-sided figure.
What is a diagonal in the pentagon?
Joining straight line of any two alternate vertices.
What is the name for a straight line that joins a corner to the opposite corner of a polygon?
diagonal
Diagonal of a parallelogram?
Is the straight line joining one of the vertices to the vertex opposite.
What is diagonal in a polygon?
A straight line that joins one vertex to another vertex.
Are the perpendicular line segments of a letter the straight lines?
Not necessarily. The horizontal and diagonal lines are also straight lines.
What is the name of the straight line that joins one corner of a square to the opposite corner?
