Why do vertices connected by a diagonal of a polygon have to be nonconsecutive?

Because consecutive vertices are already connected by the edges of the polygon.

Answer:

Basically, a segment which connects two consecutive vertices is not a diagonal, it's actually a side of a polygon.

So, in order to get a diagonal, you need to unit two nonconsecutive vertices, that way you won't get a side but a diagonal.

Actually, a diagonal of a polygon is defined as a segment which connects two nonconsecutive vertices.

Therefore, by definition, a diagonal must connect two nonconsecutive vertices.

Can someone help me with this diagram problem?
mart [117]

Answer: the diagonal is 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle has 2 parallel and equal sides. Each of the 4 angles in a rectangle is 90°. Therefore, the diagonal of the rectangle divides it into 2 equal right angle triangles and the diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right triangles.

To determine the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, d, , we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

d² = 5² + (5√3)²

d² = 25 + 25×3 = 100

d = √100

d = 10 units
