Question
- in quadrilateral math, mt and ah bisect each other at r and mr ≅ hr. math must be a
i. parallelogram
ii. rectangle
iii. square
Step1: Recall the property of a parallelogram
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram. In quadrilateral \(MATH\), \(MT\) and \(AH\) bisect each other at \(R\) (\(MR = HR\) and \(TR=AR\)). So, by the theorem "If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram", \(MATH\) is a parallelogram.
Step2: Analyze for rectangle and square
For a quadrilateral to be a rectangle, it needs to be a parallelogram with one - right angle or diagonals equal. For a quadrilateral to be a square, it needs to be a rectangle with adjacent sides equal. There is no information given about the angles (\(90^{\circ}\)) or the lengths of the sides (\(MA = AT\)) or the equality of the diagonals (\(MT=AH\)).
