A crossed rectangle is a crossed (self-intersecting) quadrilateral which consists of two opposite sides of a rectangle along with the two diagonals [4] (therefore only two sides are parallel). It is a special case of an antiparallelogram , and its angles are not right angles and not all equal, though opposite angles are equal.
Equivalently, a quadrilateral has equal diagonals if and only if it has perpendicular bimedians, and it has perpendicular diagonals if and only if it has equal bimedians. [7] Silvester (2006) gives further connections between equidiagonal and orthodiagonal quadrilaterals, via a generalization of van Aubel's theorem .
The central angle of a square is equal to 90° (360°/4). The external angle of a square is equal to 90°. The diagonals of a square are equal and bisect each other, meeting at 90°. The diagonal of a square bisects its internal angle, forming adjacent angles of 45°. All four sides of a square are equal. Opposite sides of a square are parallel.
It states that in a cyclic quadrilateral , as shown in the accompanying figure, the sum of the products of the lengths of opposite sides is equal to the product of the lengths of the diagonals. In the special cases of one of the diagonals or sides being a diameter of the circle, this theorem gives rise directly to the angle sum and difference ...
Thales’ theorem: if AC is a diameter and B is a point on the diameter's circle, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.. In geometry, Thales's theorem states that if A, B, and C are distinct points on a circle where the line AC is a diameter, the angle ∠ ABC is a right angle.
The six trigonometric functions are defined for every real number, except, for some of them, for angles that differ from 0 by a multiple of the right angle (90°). Referring to the diagram at the right, the six trigonometric functions of θ are, for angles smaller than the right angle:
If the quadrilateral is rectangle, then equation simplifies further since now the two diagonals are of equal length as well: 2 a 2 + 2 b 2 = 2 e 2 {\displaystyle 2a^{2}+2b^{2}=2e^{2}} Dividing by 2 yields the Euler–Pythagoras theorem:
The diagonals of a rhombus intersect at equal angles, while the diagonals of a rectangle are equal in length. The figure formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a rhombus is a rectangle , and vice versa.
