Not for every parallelogram. Only for a rhombus (diamond) or square will the diagonals bisect the opposite angles they connect, and diagonals are perpendicular. In rectangles, the diagonals do not bisect the angles and are notperpendicular, but they do bisect each other.

The diagonals of a bisect the opposite angles is what?
a rhombus
Do the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles of the parallelogram?
yes * * * * * No, they do not!
What are three attributes of a parallelogram?
Parallelograms: 1.)opposite side of a parallelogram are parallel and you can prove that by finding the slope for both lines. 2.) opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent 3.) diagonals bisect each other 4.)opposite angles are congruent 5.) consecutive angles are supp.
Which quadrilaterals have diagonals that bisects each other?
A quadrilateral whose diagonals bisect each other at right angles is a rhombus. each other at right angles at M. So AB = AD and by the first test above ABCD is a rhombus. 'If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then it is a 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.
Does the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles?
No, the diagonals of a parallelogram do not necessarily bisect the angles. The diagonals of a parallelogram divide it into four congruent triangles, but they do not necessarily bisect the angles of those triangles.
Which group of quadrilaterals has diagonals that bisect their opposite angles?
Either a square or rectangle fit this description.
Does a rectangles diagonals bisect opposite angles?
No, a rectangle's diagonals do not bisect opposite angles.
Do diagonals bisect opposite angles?
In rhombuses and squares the diagonals bisect opposite angles.
Which figure will the diagonals not always bisect opposite angles?
The diagonals will not always bisect opposite angles in the rectangle.
Is it true that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the opposite angles?
It is true only when the parallelogram is in the form of a rhombus, and thus the two diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
Do the diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other?
Yes. Other things about parallelograms: -opposite sides are equal in length. -opposite angles are equal in length. -diagonals bisect each other.
What properties apply in a parallelogram?
Consecutive angles are supplementary Diagonals bisect each other Opposite angles are congruent Opposite sides are parallel
Do the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other at a right angle?
Only for a square or rhombus (diamond shape). The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other, but are not perpendicular and do not bisect the opposite angles they join.
What are facts about parallelogram?
Opposite sides are congruent Opposite sides are parallel Opposite angles are equal Consecutive angles are supplementary Diagonals bisect each other Diagonals form 2 equal triangles
In which of these figures will the diagonals not always bisect opposite angles a square rectangle or a rhombus?
The diagonals will not always bisect opposite angles in a rectangle.
Will a rectangular will the diagonals not always bisect opposite angles?
The diagonals of a rectangular shape will only bisect opposite angles if, in fact, the shape is a square. Otherwise they will not bisect them.
