Question

problem 14:
(first taught in
lesson 57)
from this given statement,
select the definition, property,
postulate, or theorem that
justifies each prove statement.
given: rhombus rstu
prove: \\( \overline { rt } \perp \overline { su } \\)

Explanation:

A rhombus has the property that its diagonals are perpendicular to each other. In rhombus \(RSTU\), \(\overline{RT}\) and \(\overline{SU}\) are the diagonals.

Answer:

The property of a rhombus (that the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular) justifies the statement \(\overline{RT}\perp\overline{SU}\).
