Yes. You can show this by SAS of two right triangles. Consider rectangle ABCD. AD and BC are the same length and AC and BD are the same length because opposite sides are congruent. The angles ADC and BCD are congruent since it is a rectangle and the angles are right angles. So the triangles ADC and BCD are congruent and their hypotenuses (the diagonals of the rectangles) are congruent.

In which quadrilateral are the diagonals always congruent?

The diagonals of a rhombus are always congruent. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. Due to its symmetry, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, and they are always of the same length. This property distinguishes a rhombus from other quadrilaterals like rectangles or parallelograms.
