DevinWell, darling, a diagonal line is always longer than a straight line. Think about it this way – a straight line is like a shortcut, while a diagonal line is the scenic route that takes a bit longer to get you where you're going. So, if you're in a hurry, stick to the straight and narrow, but if you've got time to spare, take the diagonal detour.

What are 3 kinds of straight line?
Perpendicular lines Parallel lines Diagonal lines
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.
What is the difference between a Diagonal line and an oblique line?
A diagonal line is a straight line that connects two non-adjacent corners of a shape, typically forming a 45-degree angle with the sides of the shape. An oblique line, on the other hand, is any line that is neither horizontal nor vertical, and can be at any angle other than 90 degrees. In essence, all diagonal lines are oblique, but not all oblique lines are diagonal.
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
