What quadrilateral does NOT always have perpendicular diagonals?
rectangleA trapezoid will also suffice.
Are diagonals always congruent?
In a quadrilateral, the diagonals are only congruent for rectangles (or squares, which is a special kind of rectangle). Note: they are not congruent for a Rhombus.
If the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular can the quadrilateral be a rectangle?
Sure, a square is a rectangle and the diagonals of a square are perpendicular.
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.
Are the diagonals of a trapezoid always congruent?
No, the diagonals of a trapezoid are not always congruent. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with at least one pair of parallel sides. The diagonals of a trapezoid connect the non-parallel vertices, and their lengths can vary depending on the specific dimensions of the trapezoid. In a trapezoid where the non-parallel sides are of equal length, the diagonals will be congruent, but this is not always the case.
