A shopping center plot of land is in the shape of a parallelogram.
Give two other facts about the plot or roads through it.
I do not understand can you please explain?
I know that
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if it has two pairs of parallel sides.
A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if and only if its diagonals bisect each other.
The roads across it from corner to corner, one is long, one is short, but both are bisected by the other.
Those sound like reasonable facts about it. The diagonals of course are straight roads from corner to corner through the plot.
thank you
Sure! Let me explain further.
1) One fact about the plot or roads through it is that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal in length. This means that if you measure the lengths of the two pairs of opposite sides of the shopping center plot, they will be the same.
To determine this fact, you can measure the lengths of the four sides of the plot using a measuring tape or any suitable measuring tool. If the lengths of the opposite sides are equal, then you can conclude that the plot is a parallelogram.
2) Another fact about the plot or roads through it is that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal in measure. This means that if you measure the angles formed by the intersection of the sides of the shopping center plot, the opposite angles will have the same measurement.
To determine this fact, you can use a protractor to measure the angles formed at the intersection of the sides of the plot. If the measurements of the opposite angles are the same, then you can conclude that the plot is a parallelogram.
Please note that these two additional facts are not the only properties of a parallelogram, but they are commonly used to identify and classify shapes as parallelograms.
