In a parallelogram ABCD diagonals AC and BD intersect at O and AC= 6.8 cm and BD = 5.6cm . Find the length of OA and OD. step by step explanation please urgent
Answers
Answer:
According to theorm of parallelogram diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.
So , AO = OC and BO = OD
Hence, BO = 1/2 BD
SO, BC = 6.8 cm
And AO = 1/2 AC
So, AO = 3.4

More to know -:
Parallelogram -: is a quadrilateral having two pairs of parallel sides.
Properties-:
i) Opposite sides are equal.
ii) Opposite sides are congurent.
iii) Opposite angles are congurent.
iv) Same-Side interior angles (consecutive angles) are supplementary.
v) Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.
vi) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Answer: OA = 3.4 cm and OD = 2.8 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
❍ Given :-
- AC = 6.8 cm
- BD = 5.6 cm
- Diagonals AC and BD intersect at O
❍ To Find :-
- The length of OA and OD
❍ Solution :-
➸ We know that,
According to theorem of parallelogram, diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other.
Here,
When diagonal AC and BD intersect each other at point O,
Then,
and
Therefore,
and
Hence the length of OA = 3.4 cm and OD = 2.8 cm.
