Because the diagonals in a square are at right angles to one another!
noNo, the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.Unless the rhombus is regular (and called a square) the diagonals are of different lengths.
It can be :- 1- a parallelogram 2- Square if diagonals are perpendicular and congruent 3- Rectangle if diagonals are congruent 4- Rhombus if diagonals are perpendicular
Opposite sides are equal and parallel but diagonals are only equal in certain specific circumstances eg when all angles are equal, which makes it a square rather than a rhombus.
The diagonals of a parallelogram are parallel and the same length.
both are parallel

A square or a rectangle

The diagonals of a rectangle aren't lines of symmetry unless it's square.
A square is a rhombus with all angles 90o. When the angles of a rhombus are not all 90o, it differs from the square in this respect, and the diagonals are not of equal length unlike those of a square. A rhombus is like a square in that all its sides are equal in length, opposite sides are parallel and the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other.
A Rectangle is a quadrilateral (four sided polygon) with two pairs of equal and parallel sides (opposite sides are parallel and equal, one pair is usually a different length from the other pair but if they are equal it is called a square), and all angles are right angles (90°). It has two diagonals which have the properties:The diagonals are always congruent (of equal length);The diagonals bisect each other (cut each other into two equal parts);The diagonals do not bisect the angles (unless the rectangle is a square when they do);The diagonals are not perpendicular (unless the rectangle is a square when they do).PROOF of the diagonals congruent:Take a rectangle ABCD with diagonals AC and BD.Using Pythagoras on the triangles ACD and BCD:AC² = AD² + CD²BD² = BC² + CD²But as ABCD is a rectangle AD = BC since they are opposite and parallel; thus:AC² = AD² + CD² = BC² + CD² = BD²Thus, as AC and BD are the diagonals, they are equal.Therefore the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
It has 2 Diagonals!!!
Not in our Universe they're not!
