If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect the angles, is the quadrilateral always a parallelogram? Explain your answer.

1 answer:

6 0

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.

Put together, Dulcina and Tremaine have 129 total matchbooks. Tremaine's collection has 39 fewer matchbooks in it than Dulcina's

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Let the Dulcina's collection be 'x'

Let the Tremaine collection be 'x-39'

x + x - 39 =129

2x = 129 +39

2x = 168

x = 168/2

x = 84

Dulcina's collection = x = 84

Tremaine's collection = x - 39 = 84 - 39 = 45
