How to use "Diagonal" in context?
One of the most common geometry terms is "diagonal." What does it mean? Let's explore. A diagonal is a line that runs directly opposite another line, like the ones in your hand. Why is this important? Well, diagonals play a big role in many geometry problems - like constructing a rectangle or a square. For example, in rectangles, you can draw a diagonal from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner. Doing so creates a rectangle with an extra corner - perfect for holding something, like a pillow.
