No. A diagonal goes from corner to opposite corner, which will always be a longer distance than the side length. You can use Pythagoras' theorem to work out the length of the diagonals. It will be the square root of (a2+b2) where a and b are the long and short side lengths of the rectangle respectively. The result will clearly be greater than either a or b.

In a given quadrilateral each side is parallel to its opposite side and the diagonals are not perpendicular. what could it be?
Parallelogram and a rectangle
What is the sum of a fifty gon?
The answer will depend on what aspect you wish to sum: its side lengths, it interior/exterior angles, its diagonals.
How do you find the diagonals of a rhombus?
You need more information: the length of a side. Then, since the diagonals bisect one another at right angles, you can use Pythagoras's theorem to calculate their lengths.
Formula of perimeter of isosceles triangle?
Lengths of: equal side+equal side+base = perimeter
A triangle has a base 17 units long and the lengths of the other two sides are equal if the side lengths are integers what is the shortest possible side length?
9 is shortest integer side length greater than 17/2
Do all trapeziums have diagonals of equal length?
No. Even in the non-US use of the term (a quadrilateral with at least one set of parallel lines), the lengths of the parallel lines may not be the same, and/or the angles formed by each adjacent side may be different (as in a rhomboid), resulting in diagonals of extremely different lengths.Only in rectangles are diagonals "always" of equal length.

How do you figure out if your deck if square?
See if the diagonal measurements are equal, and see if the side lengths are equal. If both are true, it's a square. If only the diagonals are equal, it's a rectangle. If the diagonals are not equal, it's a non-orthogonal parallelogram.
Are polygons with all right angles sometimes squares?
Yes, those polygons which have angles of 90 degrees and equal side lengths are called squares; those with uneven side lengths are called rectangles.
What is true about rectangles but not about squares?
rectangles have 2 sets of parellel sides but 2 different pairs of side lengths
In a given quadrilateral each side is parallel to its opposite side and the diagonals are not perpendicular. what could it be?
Parallelogram and a rectangle
Can a regular polygon have equal side lengths but not have equal angles?
No, for a polygon to be regular it must have equal side lengths and angles.
Why diagonals are not lines of symmetry in rectangles?
The diagonals of rectangles are rotational lines of symmetry but not reflective. To be reflective lines, folding along the line has to give the same shape on each side.
What quadrilateral has diagonals that bisect both pair of opposite angles?
A rhombus or a square. In rectangles (unequal side length) this does not occur.
How do you find the measure of the sides of a rhombus by its diagonals?
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect one another at right angles. So you can use Pythagoras on half the lengths of the diagonals. If the two diagonals ore of lengths a and b, then side2 = (a/2)2 + (b/2)2 or, equivalently, side = 1/2*sqrt(a2 + b2)
What is the area of an octagon with corresponding side lengths equal to 218?
The area of an octagon with corresponding side lengths equal to 218 is about 229,466.2 units2
Are the diagonals of a rectangle equal in measure?
Yes, because the side a and side c are always equal in length and side b and side d are always equal in length.
