ABCD is a rectangle and AC and BD are its diagonals. If AC = 10 cm, then BD is?

Answer:
A. 10 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right angled triangle, a² + b² = c² where c is the diagonal or hypotenuse. If you split a rectangle diagonally into two right angle triangles, the a and b of both triangles would be the same length. Therefore, the c or diagonals would also be the same length - 10 cm.
Hope this helps!

1. The two triangles are similar because the two pairs of angles are equal, therefore the third angles of both triangles must also be equal.
We can call this the AAA similarity criterion
2. To find QR, we must use ratios between 2 known similar sides of both triangles,
So, QR =1.02
