If quadrilateral RSTU is a parallelogram, what are the lengths of the diagonals of the figure? (1 point) Diagonal RT is equal to and diagonal SU is equal to .

1 answer

In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other but are generally not equal in length unless the parallelogram is a rectangle (or a square, which is a specific type of rectangle).

To find the lengths of the diagonals RT and SU without specific lengths being provided for the sides or the angles of parallelogram RSTU, we cannot definitively state their lengths. However, we can rephrase that:

  • If you have specific coordinates for points R, S, T, and U, you can calculate the lengths of the diagonals using the distance formula.
  • If the parallelogram has special properties (like being a rectangle), you may find that the diagonals are equal.

Please provide the lengths of the sides or coordinates to determine the exact lengths of the diagonals RT and SU.
