Which quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals?
Rhombus
What quadrilateral has no right angles but whoms diagonals are congruent?
A Parallelogram and a rhombus
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.
Why does it make sense knowing the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular is not sufficient to show the quadrilateral is a rhombus?
It makes sense because it is true. There are other quadrilaterals whose diagonals are perpendicular.
Which quadrilateral must have diagonals that are congruent and perpendicular?
The quadrilateral that must have diagonals that are congruent and perpendicular is the square. This is because its diagonals form a right angle at its center.
