_________________________
In a quadrilateral ABCD : -
The diagonals measure 6 cm and 8 cm.
The diagonals bisect each other at right angles at O.
_________________________
Lenght of each side of the quadrilateral.
_________________________
OA = 3 cm
OB = 4 cm
OC = 3 cm
OD = 4 cm
Using pythageorus theorem :
( OA )^2 + ( OB )^2 = ( AB )^2
( 3 )^2 + ( 4 )^2 = ( AB )^2
9 + 16 = ( AB )^2
25 = ( AB )^2
AB = √25 = 5 cm
Applying the same formula , we find that each side measures 5 cm. Since , the lengths and bases are same , the hypotenuses will also be same.
________________________
The sides of the quadrilateral measure 5 cm each.
