Prove that a parallelogram is a square iff its diagonals are both congruent and perpendicular

Consider the parallelogram shown below.
The lengths of the sides are a and b.
The lengths of the diagonals are 2x and 2y.

Because the diagonals are both congruent and perpendicular, therefore there are two right triangles as shown.
Note that x = y.
Because x = y, each right triangle is isosceles and has the angles 90°, 45° and 45°.

From the Pythagorean theorem,
For one right triangle,
a² = x² + y² = x² + x² = 2x².
For the other right triangle,
b² = y² + x² = x² + x² = 2x²

Therefore
a² = b²
a = b

It follows that all sides of the parallelogram are equal and each angle is
45+45 = 90°

Therefore the parallelogram is a square.

Listed below are the salaries, in $000, for a sample of 15 chief financial officers in the electronics industry.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a)

Mean = sum of all numbers in dataset / total number in dataset

Mean = 8130/15 = 542

Median:

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set.

For median, we need to sort the data and then find the middle number which in our case is 546. Below is the sorted data

486  516 523  523  529  534  538  546  548  551  552  558  566  574  586

Standard Deviation (SD).  Here X represents dataset and N= count of numbers in data

As per the SD formula, which is Sqrt ( sum (X_i - Meanx(X))/(N-1))

SD= 25.082

2) Formula for coefficient of skewness using Pearson's method (using median) is,

SK = 3* ( Mean (X) - Median(X))/(Standard Deviation) =  3*(542-546)/25.082 = -0.325

3) coefficient of skewness using the software method is also same which is -0.325
