Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP IM BEHIND RIPWithout using a protractor, you can determine whether the angles are right angles by measuring the length of the diagonal and applying the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem.The length of both diagonals for each lateral side is 13 centimeters. From this, can you prove that the lateral sides are rectangles? Why or why not?what do you mean the answer is 6?

Answer 1

If the diagonal, of length 13 cm, and the sides, of length 12 cm and 5 cm, satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, then we can conclude that the angles of the quadrilateral are right angles.

Then, we write:

`\begin{gathered} 12^2+5^2=13^2 \\ 144+25=169 \\ 169=169\longrightarrow\text{True} \end{gathered}`

Answer: as the Pythagorean theorem is satisfied, we can conclude that the angle is a right angle.
