If all four interior angles of quadrilateral P have the same measure, which of the following statements must be true? 1. All sides of P have equal length. 2. The diagonals of P are perpendicular. 3. The measure of each interior angle of P is 90 degrees. Thanks in advance!

What do the interior angel of a quadrilateral add up to? If they all have equal measure, the answer should be pretty obvious.

Well, I know that statement three is correct because of the sum of interior angles in the quadrilateral, but how can I prove the other two statements to be right/ wrong?

Try coming up with some counter examples :) for example, can you think of a quadrilateral that has four right angles, and the sides arent equal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does perpendicular mean? The definition of perpendicular is essentially the same thing as statement three.

Ok. The angles of a quadrilateral will always add up to 360 degrees. Since we know all four angles are the same, 4(angle) = 360. Try simplifying that a little. Does that help?

A big thank you to everyone who helped! I totally get the problem now, had a little brain fart on the perpendicular part. Thank you thank you thank you (:
