Question
rectangle pqrs is shown with its diagonals, overline{pr} and overline{qs}. what type of triangle is \triangle str? right triangle equilateral triangle isosceles triangle scalene triangle
Step1: Recall the property of rectangle's diagonals
In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal and bisect each other. So \(PT = QT=RT = ST\).
Step2: Analyze the sides of \(\triangle STR\)
Since \(RT = ST\), by the definition of an isosceles triangle (a triangle with at least two equal - length sides), \(\triangle STR\) has two equal sides.
