What can you conclude by using the given statement together with each additional statement? If no conclusion is possible, say so.

Given: The diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular.

a. JKLM is a rhombus.

b. In quad. DIME, DIME.

c. STUV is a not a rhombus.

d. In quad. NOPQ, not NPOQ.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.The conclusion isthe diagonals JL and KM are perpendicular.

b.The conclusion is not possible.

c. The conclusion is not possible.

d. The conclusion is NOPQ is not a rhombus.

Step by step solution

01

a.Step 1. Consider the given statements

The given statement is 鈥淭he diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular鈥

The given additional statement is 鈥JKLM is a rhombus鈥.

Hence the diagonals of the rhombus JKLM are perpendicular.

02

– Explanation

ConsiderJKLM is a rhombus.

Sincethe diagonals of the rhombus JKLM are perpendicular, therefore the diagonals JL and KM are perpendicular.

03

– Conclusion 

Hence, the conclusion isthe diagonals JL and KM are perpendicular.

04

b.Step 1 – Consider the given statements

The given statement is 鈥淭he diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular鈥

The given additional statement is 鈥淚n quadrilateral DIME, DMIE鈥.

Here DMIE implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.

05

– Explanation

Consider DMIE.

The diagonals are perpendicular, but it is may or may not be a rhombus.

06

– Conclusion 

Hence no conclusion is possible.

07

c.Step 1 – Consider the given statements.

The given statement is 鈥淭he diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular鈥

The given additional statement is 鈥STUV is not a rhombus鈥.

Here STUVis given that not a rhombus.

08

– Explanation

Since the diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular, therefore the diagonals of STUV are may or may not be perpendicular.

09

– Conclusion 

Hence, the conclusion is not possible.

10

d.Step 1 – Consider the given statements

The given statement is 鈥淭he diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular鈥

The given additional statement is 鈥淚n quad NOPQ, not \[\overline{NP}\bot \overline{OQ}\]鈥.

Here the diagonals are not perpendicular.

11

– Explanation

Since the diagonals of the rhombus are perpendicular but NPOQ is not true, therefore it is not a rhombus.

12

– Conclusion 

Hence the conclusion is NOPQ is not a rhombus.
