Yes. If the diagonals bisect the angles, the quadrilateral is always a parallelogram, specifically, a rhombus.

Consider quadrilateral ABCD. If diagonal AC bisects angles A and C, then ΔACB is congruent to ΔACD (ASA). Hence AB=AD and BC=CD (CPCTC).

Likewise, if diagonal BD bisects angles B and D, triangles BDA and BDC are congruent, thus AB=BC and AD=CD. (CPCTC again). Now, we have AB=BC=CD=AD, so the figure is a rhombus, hence a parallelogram.

List the ordered pairs in the equivalence relations produced by these partitions of {a, b, c, d, e, f, g}: a) {a,b},{c,d},{e,f,g

finlep [7]

Answer:

a) {a,b} , {c,d} , {e,f,g},{a , b } = {(a,a) (b,b) (a,b) (b,a)},{c , d } = {(c,c) (d,d) (c,d) (d , c) } ,{e,f,g} = {(e,e) (e,f) (f,e) (e,g) (f,f) (f,g) ( g,e) (g,f)(g,g)}

b) { (a,a)(b,b)(c,c)(c,d)(d,c)(d,d)(e,e)(e,f)(f,e)(f,f)(g,g)

c) {(a,a)(a,b)(b,b)(b,a)(a,c)(c,a)(b,c)(c,b)(c,c)(d,a)(a,d)(b,d)(d,b)(d,c)(c,d)(d,d)(c,c)(c,f)(f,c)(f,f)(c,g)(g,c)(f,g)(g,f)(g,g)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) {a,b} , {c,d} , {e,f,g}

{a , b } = {(a,a) (b,b) (a,b) (b,a)}

{c , d } = {(c,c) (d,d) (c,d) (d , c) }

{e,f,g} = {(e,e) (e,f) (f,e) (e,g) (f,f) (f,g) ( g,e) (g,f) (g,g)}

b) {a} ,{b},{c,d} ,{e,f},{g}

{ (a,a)(b,b)(c,c)(c,d)(d,c)(d,d)(e,e)(e,f)(f,e)(f,f)(g,g)}

c) {a,b,c,d},{e,f,g}

{(a,a)(a,b)(b,b)(b,a)(a,c)(c,a)(b,c)(c,b)(c,c)(d,a)(a,d)(b,d)(d,b)(d,c)(c,d)(d,d)(c,c)(c,f)(f,c)(f,f)(c,g)(g,c)(f,g)(g,f)(g,g)

Herman is standing on a ladder that is partly in a hole.He starts out on a rung that is 6 feet under ground ,climbs up 14 feet,t

fomenos

Well lets try using negatives and positives, negatives for underground positives for above. -6 + 14 = 8 then 8 - 11 = -3. When Herman finally stops climbing he is 3 feet below ground level.
