If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent then what would be the best and most restrictive description of that quadrilateral?
a) Kite
b) Rectangle
c) Trapezoid
d) Rhombus

Explanation:

If the diagonals were congruent, then you can use the SSS property to prove a pair of right triangles are congruent. This leads to showing that we have adjacent congruent corresponding angles. Let's call those angles x and y.

Since they are congruent, we know that y = x. Adjacent angles of any parallelogram add to 180, so x+y = 180

By substitution we can solve for x

x+y = 180

x+x = 180

2x = 180

x = 180/2

x = 90

So y = 90 as well.

This line of thinking is used to show that all four angles of this parallelogram are 90 degrees. A rectangle is any quadrilateral in which all four angles are 90 degrees, so that's why this parallelogram is a rectangle.

step-by-step explanation:

i am not sure sorry : c

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
