1.	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.
Answer» 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.

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.
