84. Is the following statement true: if in two quadrilaterals $A B C D$ and $A^{\prime} B^{\prime} C^{\prime} D^{\prime}$ the corresponding sides are equal ( $A B=A^{\prime} B^{\prime}, B C=B^{\prime} C^{\prime}$, etc.), then the quadrilaterals are equal?
$\triangleright$ Recalling the previous problem, we can formulate the question as follows: will a hinged quadrilateral be rigid? It is immediately clear that no - by taking the opposite vertices in your hands, you can move them closer and further apart. The diagram shows two positions of the hinges - two different quad...

333. Prove that if $X$ lies on the bisector, then the perpendiculars are equal; if $X$ lies on the same side of the bisector as side $O B$, then the perpendicular dropped to $O B$ is shorter; if $X$ lies on the other side of the bisector, the other perpendicular is shorter.
$\triangleright$ Drop perpendiculars $X P$ and $X Q$ from point $X$ to the sides $O A$ and $O B$ of the given angle. If $X$ lies on the angle bisector, then the right triangles $O X P$ and $O X Q$ are congruent by the hypotenuse and acute angle. Now suppose $X$ does not lie on the bisector and, for instance, lies on t...
