Question:
Two sticks each of length 5 cm are crossing each other such that they bisect each other. What shape is formed by joining their end points?
Give reason.
Solution:
Sticks can be taken as the diagonals of a quadrilateral.
Now, since they are bisecting each other, therefore the shape formed by joining their end points will be a parallelogram.
Hence, it may be a rectangle or a square depending on the angle between the sticks.
