How do you calculate dimensions of a rectangle when given diagonal?
You don't - you need additional information. Many different rectangles can have the same diagonal. If you know the diagonal and one side (which must be LESS than the diagonal), you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the other side.
Which figure does a diagonal always form a angle bisector a rectangle a trapezoid a square or a quadrilateral?
A diagonal always forms an angle bisector in a square. In a rectangle, trapezoid, or any other quadrilateral, a diagonal does not always bisect the angles.
Can the diagonals of a parallelogram be the same length?
Yes, but only when the shape is a rectangle (or square). Other paralleograms will have one diagonal longer than the other. And yes, rectangles and squares ARE parallelograms.
How do you determine if rectangles are Simular?
If the 'ratio' (length/width) of one rectangle is the same number as (length/width) of the other one, then the two rectangles are similar.
Are every two rectangles similar?
Every rectangle is similar in that they both have 4 sides, they both have 4 angles, and they both have 2 sides equalling one length and the other 2 sides equalling a shorter length. Every two rectangles are similar in a way but they are not all exactly the same.
Are rectangles always similar to each other?
Similar shapes need to have the same number of sides, the same angles and the ratio of the sides needs to be the same. Rectangles are not always similar to each other because they can have different dimensions, which would break the "same ratio" rule.

Rectangles are always some times or never square?
It depends on the context of the sentence. Squares may be considered as a special case of rectangles. Alternatively, the term rectangles may be reserved for right-angled quadrilaterals other than squares.
How many sides are there on two rectangles?
Rectangles must always have 4 sides. As there are two rectangles, there must be 8 sides. However, if these two rectangles have identical sized sides and they are placed against each other so that they look like one rectangle, there will only be 4 sides.
If one diagonal of a quadrilateral bisects the other when is the quadrilateral a parallelogram?
In this case, the quadrilateral is sometimes a parallelogram.
What would the ratio of a two rectangles be if one rectangles width is 24Cm and length 30Cm the other rectangle is width of 36 Cm length of 42 Cm?
These are not similar rectangles so there is no obvious candidate for the ratio. Is it ratio of lengths (sides, perimeter, diameter), or ratio of area?
Are two hexagon always similar to each other?
No. Two regular hexagons are always similar to each other, but two random hexagons are not necessarily similar.
Does rectangles always have perpendicular sides?
Yes the 4 corners of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other and its opposite sides are parallel to each other.
