Are diagonals of a parallelogram not congruent?
yes. they are not congruent
A parallelogram with congruent diagonals is a?
square and rectangle
If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent the parallelogram may or may not be a rectangle?
False
Show that if diagonals of a quadrilateral bisects each other then it is a rhombus?
This cannot be proven, because it is not generally true. If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram. And conversely, the diagonals of any parallelogram bisect each other. However not every parallelogram is a rhombus.However, if the diagonals are perpendicular bisectors, then we have a rhombus.Consider quadrilateral ABCD, with diagonals intersecting at X, whereAC and BD are perpendicular;AX=XC;BX=XD.Then angles AXB, BXC, CXD, DXA are all right angles and are congruent.By the ASA theorem, triangles AXB, BXC, CXD and DXA are all congruent.This means that AB=BC=CD=DA.Since the sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are congruent, it is a rhombus.
In a parallelogram are the diagonals equal?
No, the properties of a paralleogram are as follows:two parallel sidesbisecting diagonalsequal opposite anglesand it does not need to have all equal sides it just needs to have OPPOSITE equal sidesIf 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.
