प्रश्न
Two sticks each of length 5 cm are crossing each other such that they bisect each other. What shape is formed by joining their endpoints? Give reason.

उत्तर
Sticks can be taken as the diagonals of a quadrilateral.
Now, since they are bisecting each other, therefore the shape formed by joining their endpoints will be a parallelogram.
Hence, it may be a rectangle or a square depending on the angle between the sticks.
