Question

prove that diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length with the help of an activity

Answer 1

The activity is as follows.

1.) Draw a rectangle on a piece of paper and cut it out.

2.) Draw two diagonals of the rectangle.

3.) The diagonals divide the rectangle into four triangles.

4.) Now cut out the four triangles carefully along the diagonals.

5.) From the cut out triangles you realise that there are 2 pairs of congruent triangles.

This demonstrates that the diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
