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.
Two pairs of parallel sides and all angles congruent?
Two different quadrilaterals have two pairs of parallel sides and have all their angles congruent. They are the square and the rectangle.
What shape has 2 congruent diagonals that do not bisect?
A trapezoid Trapezoid - 2 congruent diagonals that do not bisect each other. No right angles and has 1 pair of opposite parallel sides.
How many diagonals do quadrilaterals have?
Quadrilaterals have four sides so the only possible answer to this question is that a quadrilateral only has two diagonals.
What are some characteristics of a trapezoid?
The only real characteristic of a trapezoid is that one pair of opposite sides is parallel. For an isosceles trapezoid, in addition to one pair of opposite sides being parallel; the legs are congruent; each pair of base angles is congruent; and the diagonals are congruent.
