HallsofIvy Science Advisor Homework Helper Messages 42,895 Reaction score 983 Sep 18, 2011 #5 Same idea as I like Serena: Start with a square and draw it diagonals. Now erase the square, leaving only the diagonals. Now erase about half of each diagonal above the point where they intersect. Of what figure are they the diagonals?
