What quadrilateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent?
Rhombus.
What describes a rhombus?
A rhombus is a parallelogram with all 4 sides congruent. The diagonals bisect(split in have) the interior angles. The diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
Are diagonals congruent if they bisect each other?
Not necessarily - the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other (they are perpendicular bisectors of each other), but are not equal.
What is a description of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (4-sided figure) with both pairs of opposite sides parallel. That's usually the primary definition. There are properties common to all parallelograms: opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other. Other special parallelograms have additional properties. A rectangle is a parallelogram with four right angles and its diagonals are congruent. A rhombus is a parallelogram with four congruent sides. Its diagonals are perpendicular and each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus. A square is a parallelogram as well. It has four right angles and four congruent sides, so it is also a rectangle and a rhombus. How's that for confusing???
What are four attributes of a rhombus?
1. Opposite angles congruent 2. All sides are congruent 3. The diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other 4. Diagonals bisect the angles NOTE: Four congruent right triangles are formed with the right angles It has all of the properties of a parallelogram and a kite
Are the diagonals of a rhombus congruent?
No, the diagonals of a rhombus are not congruent, but they do intersect each other at 90 degrees.
Are the diagonals of a rhombus always congruent?
No. The diagonals are perpendicular, but they dont have to be congruent.
Do rhombus have congruent diagonals?
No
Is the diagonals of rhombus congruent?
"Congruent" isn't used to describe the diagonals of a rhombus. However, all four sides of a rhombus are congruent - they are all the same length.The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other. They are not the same length - if the diagonals were the same length, then you would have a square.
What quadrilateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent?
Rhombus.
If a quadralateral has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent it is a?
Rhombus
Are the diagonals congruent if a rhombus is a parallelogram?
No not normally only if the parallelogram is in the form of a rectangle will it then have congruent diagonals.
Are diagonals always congruent?
In a quadrilateral, the diagonals are only congruent for rectangles (or squares, which is a special kind of rectangle). Note: they are not congruent for a Rhombus.
What polygons always have congruent diagonals?
Regular polygons. A square and rectangle will have congruent (equal length) diagonals.
Is the diagonals of a rhombus always congruent?
Yes because a rhombus is like a parallelogram
Are the diagonals of a rhombus ever congruent?
Yes, if they are a square.
What is a quadrilateral that has four congruent sides but its diagonals are not congruent?
A quadrilateral with four congruent sides and uncongruent diagonals is a Rhombus. See related link for a picture
