Question
parallelogram abcd is a rectangle.
which statements are true?
select each correct answer.
2ax = bd
bc = cx
\\(\overline{ad} \perp \overline{cd}\\)
\\(m\angle abx = m\angle cbx\\)
Step1: Analyze \(2AX = BD\)
In a rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other. So \(AC = BD\) and \(AX=\frac{1}{2}AC\) (since \(X\) is the midpoint of diagonals). Thus \(AX=\frac{1}{2}BD\), so \(2AX = BD\). This statement is true.
Step2: Analyze \(BC = CX\)
\(CX\) is half of the diagonal \(AC\) (as diagonals bisect each other), and \(BC\) is a side of the rectangle. There's no reason for \(BC\) and \(CX\) to be equal. This statement is false.
Step3: Analyze \(\overrightarrow{AD}\perp\overrightarrow{CD}\)
In a rectangle, all angles are right angles. So \(\angle ADC = 90^\circ\), which means \(\overrightarrow{AD}\perp\overrightarrow{CD}\). This statement is true.
Step4: Analyze \(m\angle ABX=m\angle CBX\)
\(BX\) is a diagonal bisector, but in a rectangle, \(AB
eq BC\) (unless it's a square), so the angles \(\angle ABX\) and \(\angle CBX\) are not equal. This statement is false.
