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

What is quadrilateral whose diagonals are perpendicular to each other but unequal?
It is a kite or a rhombus both of which have unequal diagonals that are perpendicular to each other creating right angles.
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.
Is it true that the diagonals of a quadrilateral must bisect each other and be perpendicular to guaantee that the quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
No. It is false. If both of those conditions are met, then the quadrilateral is a square.
A quadrilateral having both diagonals congruent is a?
If both pairs of opposite sides are parallel: A Rectangle, or a Square. If exactly one pair of opposite sides are parallel: An Isosceles Trapezoid. If it does not have parallel sides and one diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A Kite It is also possible that it does not have any parallel sides and neither diagonal is the perpendicular bisector of the other: A quadrilateral
What shape has diagonals that are perpendicular?
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.
Conditions which guarantee that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram?
Theorem A: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its opposite sides are congruent. Theorem B: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if a pair of opposite sides is parallel and congruent. Theorem C: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if its diagonals bisect each other. Theorem D: A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if both pairs of opposite angles are congruent.
In which parallelogram are the diagonals congruent?
If a parallelogram is in the form of a rectangle then both diagonals are congruent in lengths.
What has 4 congruent sides 2 perpendicular congruent diagonals and 4 right angles?
The quadrilateral that meets these criteria is a parallelogram: both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. This implies that opposite sides are of equal length, opposite angles are equal, and the diagonals bisect each other. A general term including square, rectangle, rhombus and rhomboid.
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.
If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent then the quadrilateral is not a parallelogram?
False. If both pairs of opposite angles of a quadrilateral are congruent then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
