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.
