Draw a rect. with dimensions of 1" by 2''. Note the angle formed by the diagonals.
Now lengthen the rect. to 1'" by 10". The angle formed by the base and the diag. has to be reduced in order for the diagonal to travel to the new corner (with the same rect. height).
This is not an actual proof. You can calculate the angle but I am not certain you can do it with geometry--need trig. With trig., knowing the two sides (you know the hypotenuse with geometry too so you could use any of the trig functions), you can calculate the tangent of the angle in the 1"x2" rect, it is 0.5000. The length of the base increases by 8" for the second rect., which changes the value of the tangent (0.10000) which in turn changes the degree of the angle. The diag. of a square bisects the vertex but no so with rectangles.

Yes.
Do diagonals of rectangle bisect each other?
Yes
Do the diagonals of a rectangle always bisect each other?
yes
Do the diagonals of a square bisect the vertexes?
Yes
Do the diagonals of a rectangle bisect the angles?
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect the angles only if the rectangle is a square.
Does a rectangle have diagonals bisect?
Yes it does - they bisect each other at the exact centre of the rectangle.
In a rectangle will the diagonals always bisect opposite sides?
Diagonals never bisect sides. They join the ends of sides.In a rectangle, the diagonals always bisect each other.
Does a rectangles diagonals bisect opposite angles?
No, a rectangle's diagonals do not bisect opposite angles.
What is the Rectangle Diagonals Conjecture?
The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and they bisect each other.
Do the diagonals in a rectangle bisect the angles?
No, but in a square they do bisect the angles

No but the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles
Which figure will the diagonals not always bisect opposite angles?
The diagonals will not always bisect opposite angles in the rectangle.
Do the diagonals of rectangle bisect the opposite angles?
Not unless the rectangle is square.
