If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel: A Rectangle, or a Square.
If exactly one pair of opposite sides are parallel: An Isosceles Trapezoid.
If it does not have parallel sides and one diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A Kite
It is also possible that it does not have any parallel sides and neither diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A quadrilateral
Theorem A: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are congruent. Theorem B: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is parallel and congruent. Theorem C: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its diagonals bisect each other. Theorem D: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
If a parallelogram is in the form of a rectangle then both diagonals are congruent in lengths.
always
A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides congruent is a parallelogram.
Yes
In general, no, they are not.
A rectangle is an example of a quadrilateral where the diagonals are congruent and bisect each other. However, a kite is a quadrilateral that can also have congruent diagonals, but they do not bisect each other. In a kite, one diagonal bisects the other at a right angle, while the other diagonal remains unequal in length. Therefore, while both shapes can have congruent diagonals, only the rectangle has diagonals that bisect each other.
No, it doesn't have to be. A quadrilateral can definitely be a parallelogram only if: - Both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. - Both pairs of opposite sides are congruent. - One pair of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel. - Both pairs of opposite angles are congruent. - The diagonals bisect each other.
Theorem A: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are congruent. Theorem B: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is parallel and congruent. Theorem C: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its diagonals bisect each other. Theorem D: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
No, a quadrilateral with congruent diagonals but no right angles is not necessarily a parallelogram. In order for a quadrilateral to be classified as a parallelogram, it must have both pairs of opposite sides parallel. The property of having congruent diagonals does not guarantee that the sides are parallel, so the quadrilateral may not be a parallelogram.
A parallelogram.
A parallelogram.
If a parallelogram is in the form of a rectangle then both diagonals are congruent in lengths.
False. If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
There are 5 ways to prove a Quadrilateral is a Parallelogram. -Prove both pairs of opposite sides congruent -Prove both pairs of opposite sides parallel -Prove one pair of opposite sides both congruent and parallel -Prove both pairs of opposite angles are congruent -Prove that the diagonals bisect each other
always
A quadrilateral with both pairs of opposite sides congruent is a parallelogram.
