The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It has the characteristics of a parallelogram (both pairs of opposite sides parallel, opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, diagonals bisect each other.) It also has special characteristics. It has four congruent sides. So it looks like a lopsided or squished square. Its diagonals are perpendicular. Another property: each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus.

What is a shape with four sides and perpendicular diagonals?

A shape with four sides and perpendicular diagonals is called a rhombus. In a rhombus, all sides are of equal length, and the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Additionally, the diagonals are not necessarily of equal length, which distinguishes a rhombus from a square.

Do the diagonals of a rectangle have to be perpendicular?

Nope, in order for the diagonals to be perpendicular the shape must be a square (which I guess is a type of rectangle :). The diagonals will cross, but not at a 90degree angle, unless the sides are of equal length.Not unless the rectangle has 4 equal sides, making it a squre.


Are all diagonals perpendicular in all parallelograms?

No, not all diagonals are perpendicular in all parallelograms. In general parallelograms, the diagonals bisect each other but are not necessarily perpendicular. However, in specific types of parallelograms, such as rhombuses, the diagonals are indeed perpendicular. Thus, the property of perpendicular diagonals is not a characteristic of all parallelograms.
