Q:

Marla draws a diagonal in a rhombus to form two triangles. What term can she use to classify each triangle? Explain. a. Acute; a rhombus always has 2 acute angles so the 3 angles in each triangle must all be acute. b. Equilateral; since a rhombus always has 4 equal sides, each triangle must have 3 equal sides. c. Isosceles; since a rhombus always has 4 equal sides, each triangle must have 2 equal sides. d. Obtuse; a rhombus always has 2 obtuse angles so each triangle must have an obtuse angle.

Accepted Solution

A:
To solve such a question we must know about rhombus.Rhombus A rhombus is a quadrilateral whose all sides are of equal length, and the opposite are parallel to each other.If a rhombus is divided along its diagonals then the triangles formed will always be "Isosceles; since a rhombus always has 4 equal sides, each triangle must have 2 equal sides".GivenMarla draws a diagonal in a rhombus to form two triangles. Solution As we know in a rhombus all the sides are equal to each other. If we draw diagonals of the Rhombus, then the diagonals will divide the rhombus into two equal parts such that for each of the triangles two sides other than the diagonal will be always equal.If we divide the rhombus along any of the diagonal still the two sides will be equal.Hence, If a rhombus is divided along its diagonals then the triangles formed will always be "Isosceles; since a rhombus always has 4 equal sides, each triangle must have 2 equal sides".Learn more about Rhombus:
