Next time you see a door, a window, a book, or even a slice of toast that’s cut square, silently thank the diagonals that bisect each other inside them. (Don’t say it out loud—people will think you’ve gone full nerd. But you’ll know.)
You can even use this to impress someone at a party. “Hey, you know what makes this a rectangle? The fact that its diagonals bisect each other.” You might get a laugh, or they might avoid you for the rest of the evening. Either way, you’re technically correct—and that’s the best kind of correct.
So, the next time you’re struggling to hang something, build something, or just balance a piece of furniture, remember: the diagonals are on your side. They’ve got your back—right at the midpoint.
