Rectangle Diagonal Segments: Finding Equal Parts to BM = 12.5

Question

The rectangle ABCD is shown below.

DC = 24

BM = 12.5

Which segments are equal to BM?

00:00 Find all segments equal to BM

00:04 In a rectangle opposite sides are parallel

00:19 In a rectangle all angles are right angles

00:34 In a rectangle diagonals bisect and are equal

00:42 Therefore BM is equal to every diagonal segment

00:50 And this is the solution to the question

It is important to remember that the diagonals in a rectangle intersect and are equal to each other,

therefore:

$BM=MD=AM=MC=12.5$

BM=MD=AM=MC=12.5
