Is a quadrilateral with congruent and perpendicular diagonals a square or a rhombus?
It could be a square, but consider the following congruent & perpendicular 'diagonals of a quadrilateral (you will have to connect the endpoints of the diagonals, yourself, as it cannot be drawn in text): . _|___ . | . | . | If the two diagonals, also bisect each other, then it's a square, otherwise it is not.
Do the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other?
Yes. Because the diagonals are perpendicular to each other and intersect at their midpoints, they bisect each other.
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.
Are the diagonals of a trapezoid bisectors?
No, the diagonals of a trapezoid do not necessarily bisect each other. Only in an isosceles trapezoid, where the two non-parallel sides are congruent, will the diagonals bisect each other. In a general trapezoid, the diagonals do not bisect each other.
What is an example of a quadrilateral with diagonals that are congruent but do not bisect each other?
trapezoid
