Please note that the diagonals cross one another at right angles, and bisect one another. You should draw a diagram to visualize this. From this center point, where the diagonals cross, you have a RIGHT TRIANGLE that involves half of one diagonal, half of the other diagonal, and one of the sides of the rhombus. This lets you use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the length of the side.
Yes, they are perpendicular and intersect at their midpoints. The difference between diagonals in a rhombus as opposed to a rectangle or square is that the diagonals are not of equal length.
It is a rhombus. All four sides have the same length and the diagonals are therefore perpendicular.
It is a rhombus with sides of length sqrt(61) feet = approx 7.8 feet.
Oh, dude, it's like the diagonals in a rhombus are totally those lines that connect the opposite corners. They're like the fancy crossroads of the rhombus world, making all those right angles and stuff. So yeah, if you ever need to find them, just look for those lines that cut the rhombus in half diagonally.

"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.
The answer depends on which aspect of a rhombus. Its sides are of equal length but its diagonals are NOT!
Not in general. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal length. A rhombus that is also a rectangle would be a square.
The sides of a rhombus must all be the same length, but the angles do not need to be the same. The result is a diamond shape where the diagonals can be two different lengths.

Yes, they are perpendicular and intersect at their midpoints. The difference between diagonals in a rhombus as opposed to a rectangle or square is that the diagonals are not of equal length.
The diagonals of a rhombus are always congruent. A rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. Due to its symmetry, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles, and they are always of the same length. This property distinguishes a rhombus from other quadrilaterals like rectangles or parallelograms.
The diagonals are not equal in length but thet bisect each other at 90 degrees
A rhombus.
They are the same length, so 1:1 * * * * * In fact that is the one ratio they cannot be. A rhombus with equal diagonals is a square. The ratio of the lengths can have any other positive value.
Regular polygons. A square and rectangle will have congruent (equal length) diagonals.
Since the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular and bisect each other, then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the side of the rhombus. So in the right triangle, whose length of the legs are 6 and 8 centimeters, the hypotenuse length (the length of the side of the rhombus) is √(62 + 82) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10 cm.
