How come when you draw a diagonal of a rectangle, the triangles formed aren't 45-45-90? If all the angles of a rectangle are 90 degrees, then shouldn't cutting them in half with a diagonal result in a 45-45-90 triangle?
Angle gets bisected in a square but not in rectangle.
Example:
Draw an angle of 30 degree
and by taking the base as side and line as diagonal we can easily draw a rectangle.
Let me know if you want me to draw a picture.

Yes, could you please draw a picture? That'd be helpful.stop@800 wrote:Angle gets bisected in a square but not in rectangle.
