The opposite sides of a square are parallel and of equal length. Therefore the opposite triangles that the diagonals make are congruent and, as a result, they bisect on another. This is also the reason that they do so in all parallelograms.

Do the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect its opposite angles?

Not for every parallelogram. Only for a rhombus (diamond) or square will the diagonals bisect the opposite angles they connect, and diagonals are perpendicular. In rectangles, the diagonals do not bisect the angles and are notperpendicular, but they do bisect each other.
