Question

For the parallelogram to be a rectangle, what should be length AH?


1 Equal to 17 cm
2 Less than 17 cm
3 Greater than 17 cm
4 Can't be determined​

Answer 1

Answer:

1 correct answer Equal to 17 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The length of AH is 17cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a parallelogram MATH

The length of MT is 17cm.

Now to make it a rectangle, compare the properties of parallelogram and rectangle.

Both are quadrilaterals with opposite sides parallel to each other and equal measures.

But in rectangle all angles are equal to 90° whereas in parallelogram opposite angles are equal.

In parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other but are not equal, whereas in rectangle the the diagonals bisect each other and have the same length.

So, in parallelogram MATH, if MT is 17cm then to make it a rectangle, length AH must also be 17cm.

Therefore, the length of AH is 17cm.

So, the correct answer is option 1.
