In a parallelogram are the diagonals equal?

Answer 1

No, the properties of a paralleogram are as follows:

• two parallel sides
• bisecting diagonals
• equal opposite angles
• and it does not need to have all equal sides it just needs to have OPPOSITE equal sides

If the diagonals were equal, the figure would have to be a square, rectangle, or rhombus.

No. In fact they are equal only in exceptional circumstances.

Answer 2

the answer is 2 a parallelogram only has 2 diagonals or 2 slants

Answer 3

No because it depends on the proportions.

The only paralellograms that have congruent diagonals are the right-angles paralellograms (otherwise known as rectangles)

Answer 4

Not necessarily. The diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent if and only if the parallelogram is a rectangle.

Answer 5

Not necessarily. A parallelogram with equal diagonals would be a rectangle; a special case of a parallelogram.

Answer 6

Two - it has two angles greater than 90 degrees, and two (opposite) angles less than 90 degrees.

Answer 7

They are straight lines.

They join opposite corners.
