9. Matt is building a swimming pool in his backyard. He measures the length and width of the pool so that opposite sides are parallel. He also measures the diagonals of the pool to make sure that they are congruent. How does he know that the measure of each corner is 90? A.Since opp. sides are ||, STUR must be a rectangle. B.Since opp. sides are , STUR must be a rectangle. C.Since diagonals of the are , STUR must be a rectangle. D.STUR is not a rectangle.
