Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. True
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The diagonals of a rectangle always form four congruent triangles, which is a false statement.
The counter-statement will be, the diagonals of a square always form four congruent triangles.
2. A quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals. Is this enough to determine what type of quadrilateral it is?
The answer is no.
The counter-statement will be, a quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals, then it may be a rhombus or a square.
3. Explain why drawing a diagonal on any parallelogram will always result in two congruent triangles and it is true that the two triangles will be congruent as the opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal and there is a common side which is the diagonal itself.
Therefore, using SSS criteria the triangles are congruent. (Answer)
Answer:
40 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
< QPS = 90
<QPR + <RPS = 90
7x - 9 + 4x + 22 = 90
x = 7
So, <QPR = 7*7 - 9 = 40
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you meant to type
.
By the Law of Sines,

Since only one of these values will make a triangle (the obtuse possibility for C will mean
, which violates the condition that the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees), 1 triangle can be formed.
Answer:
Part 1) 
Part 2) 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Find the measure of angle a
we know that
The formula to calculate the measure of the interior angle of a regular polygon is equal to

where
n is the number of sides of the regular polygon
For the regular pentagon in the figure
n=5
substitute in the formula



Part 2) Find the measure of angle b
Remember that a regular polygon has equal sides and equal interior angles
so
In the figure , the length of the side of the two smaller equilateral triangles is equal to the length of the side of the regular pentagon
therefore
The triangle in white of the figure is an isosceles triangle
The measure of the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle is equal to

Remember that
The sum of the interior angles of triangle must be equal to 180 degrees
so

solve for b
