ZebraGa said:The diagonal divides the parallelogram into two triangles, each triangle circumference is 6.21 m. The circumference of the parallelogram is 7.12 m. Calculate the diagonal length.
I need tips how to solve this problem.
skeeter said:Circumference is the distance around a circle. Perimeter is the distance around a polygon.
Make a sketch ... solve the system of equations for $\color{red}{x}$
ZebraGa said:2(a+b)=7.12
x=3.56
correction ... (a+b) = 3.56
(a+b)+3.56=6.21
correction ... 3.56 + x = 6.21
x=2.65
A parallelogram diagonal is a line segment that connects two opposite vertices of a parallelogram.
To find the length of a parallelogram diagonal, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. Simply square the length of one side of the parallelogram, square the length of the other side, and add these two values together. Then, take the square root of the sum to find the length of the diagonal.
Yes, you can find a parallelogram diagonal using only the measurements of the sides. You can use the formula d = √(a² + b²), where d is the length of the diagonal, a is the length of one side, and b is the length of the other side.
A parallelogram has two diagonals.
Yes, a parallelogram can have equal diagonals. This means that the two diagonals have the same length and are bisected by each other.
