What is the name of the quadrilateral that are perpendicular and bisect each other?
If you are talking about the diagonals of a quadrilateral, the only quadrilateral that have diagonals that are perpendicular and bisect each other is a square, because a rectangle has bisecting diagonals, while a rhombus has perpendicular diagonals. And a square fits in both of these categories.
If a quadrilateral has the property that the diagonals are perpendicular and at least one of them is then the quadrilateral is a kite?
It can be but a square and a rhombus diagonals are also perpendicular and therefore intersect at 90 degrees and they too are both quadrilaterals.
If one side of a quadrilateral is congruent to its opposite side then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
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.
The diagonals are congruent but the quadrilateral has no right angles is it a parallelogram?
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.
What is one way to prove that a quadrilateral is a parallegram?
* both pairs of opposite sides are parallel * both pairs of opposite sides are congruent * both pairs of opposite angles are congruent * one pair of opposite sides are parallel and congruent * both diagonals bisect each other * all consecutive angle pairs are supplementary
