Are diagonals of a rhombus parallel?

noNo, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.Unless the rhombus is regular (and called a square) the diagonals are of different lengths.

Does a rhombus have parallel sides and equal diagonals?

Opposite sides are equal and parallel but diagonals are only equal in certain specific circumstances eg when all angles are equal, which makes it a square rather than a rhombus.

Why does a square have more lines of symmetry than a rectangle?

The diagonals of a rectangle aren't lines of symmetry unless it's square.


How does a square differ from a rhombus?

A square is a rhombus with all angles 90o. When the angles of a rhombus are not all 90o, it differs from the square in this respect, and the diagonals are not of equal length unlike those of a square. A rhombus is like a square in that all its sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.


What are the properties of the diagonals of a rectangle?

A Rectangle is a quadrilateral (four sided polygon) with two pairs of equal and parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel and equal, one pair is usually a different length from the other pair but if they are equal it is called a square), and all angles are right angles (90°). It has two diagonals which have the properties:The diagonals are always congruent (of equal length);The diagonals bisect each other (cut each other into two equal parts);The diagonals do not bisect the angles (unless the rectangle is a square when they do);The diagonals are not perpendicular (unless the rectangle is a square when they do).PROOF of the diagonals congruent:Take a rectangle ABCD with diagonals AC and BD.Using Pythagoras on the triangles ACD and BCD:AC² = AD² + CD²BD² = BC² + CD²But as ABCD is a rectangle AD = BC since they are opposite and parallel; thus:AC² = AD² + CD² = BC² + CD² = BD²Thus, as AC and BD are the diagonals, they are equal.Therefore the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
