Question

problem 3: (first taught in lesson 30) complete this sentence with the best of the choices given. sides of a quadrilateral are sides that are connected by a vertex. after you pick your answer press go. a. consecutive b. alternate c. congruent d. diagonal e. opposite

Explanation:

• Consecutive sides: In a quadrilateral, consecutive sides are those that meet at a vertex. For example, in quadrilateral \(ABCD\), side \(AB\) and side \(BC\) are consecutive sides as they are connected by vertex \(B\).
• Alternate sides: Alternate sides are not directly connected by a single vertex. For instance, in a quadrilateral, if we consider side \(AB\) and side \(CD\), they are not adjacent (not connected by a common vertex in the way described in the problem).
• Congruent sides: Congruent sides refer to sides that have the same length. This has nothing to do with their connection by a vertex.
• Diagonal: A diagonal is a line segment that connects non - consecutive vertices (e.g., in quadrilateral \(ABCD\), \(AC\) is a diagonal). It is not a side of the quadrilateral.
• Opposite sides: Opposite sides (e.g., \(AB\) and \(CD\) in a quadrilateral \(ABCD\)) are not connected by a vertex.

Answer:

A. Consecutive
