Question

can someone show me what im getting wrong please?
Name the four diagonals of the rectangular solid.
(My Answers)
Diagonal 1 = ? AR
Diagonal 2 = ? DB
Diagonal 3 = ? RC
Diagonal 4 = ? TC

Answer 1

A diagonal of a solid does NOT lie in any of the faces

Answer 2

You're listing diagonals of the individual rectangular faces.

Answer 3

like RC as an example?

Answer 4

yes, RC is a diagonal for the rectangle BRSC...but NOT a diagonal for the solid

Answer 5

so would that be considered on of the diagonals they are asking for or no?

Answer 6

no it would not be considered one of the diagonals they are looking for

Answer 7

okay. so then if they dont overlap the face of the angle, then the diagonal would be RB?

Answer 8

RB is an edge, which is not a diagonal at all

Answer 9

RD however is a diagonal of the solid

Answer 10

ohhh cuz they go from one side of the angel to the other?

Answer 11

one point to the opposite point, yes

Answer 12

and it's almost (not quite though) as if the diagonal passes through the center of the solid

Answer 13

i thought it was from side to the other on the faces. O.o okay i get it thanks a bunch :)

Answer 14

you're welcome
