Suppose Anna draws two line segments, AB and CD that
intersect at point E. She draws them in such a way that AB
# CD, AB I CD, and AB and CD bisect each other.
What is the best name to describe ACBD? Explain.

Respuesta :

The name of the quadrilateral ACBD is given by the relationship between

the diagonals Anna draws and their properties.

Correct response:

  • The best name to describe ACBD is a square.

Reasons that make the above response correct

Given parameters;

The two line segments Anna draws = [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ≅ [tex]\mathbf{\overline{CD}}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] ⊥ [tex]\mathbf{\overline{CD}}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] bisects [tex]\mathbf{\overline{CD}}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] bisects [tex]\mathbf{\overline{AB}}[/tex]

Therefore;

According to perpendicular bisector theorem, the lengths of the sides of

the quadrilateral ACBD are equal.

[tex]\mathbf{\overline {AC}}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{CB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{BD}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{AD}[/tex]

  • The diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other, and are equal, therefore, quadrilateral ACBD is a square.
