A/An __________ is a line segment connecting two non-consecutive vertices of a polygon.(a) diagonal(b) side(c) median(d) altitudeThis question was addressed to me in my homework.My question is taken from Quadrilaterals in section Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

Right choice is (a) diagonal

Explanation: When a line segment JOINS two vertices which are not PLACED besides each other, it is known as a diagonal. There should always be a vertex between the two vertices which join the diagonal. For example, in the below figure, the DOTTED line REPRESENTS the diagonal for the SQUARE, whereas the solid lines cannot be considered as the diagonals because there is no vertex between them.
