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 shape has diagonals that are perpendicular?
The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular. A rhombus is a special kind of parallelogram. It has the characteristics of a parallelogram (both pairs of opposite sides parallel, opposite sides are congruent, opposite angles are congruent, diagonals bisect each other.) It also has special characteristics. It has four congruent sides. So it looks like a lopsided or squished square. Its diagonals are perpendicular. Another property: each diagonal bisects two angles of the rhombus.
How are the diagonals of a square?
The diagonals of a square are congruent, bisect each other, perpendicular, and either diagonal's length is sqrt(2) times any side length.
Are diagonals of equal length in a parallelogram and rectangle?
the diagonal in a paralleogram is not equal but the diagonals in the rectangle are congruent this is because the opposite sides of a parallelogram and rectangle are same parallel to each other but the adjacent sides of a parallelogram is not perpendicular where as the adjacent sides of rectangle is perpendicular to each other.
Why are the diagonals of a square perpendicular bisectors of each other?
You could prove this by congruent triangles, but here are two simpler arguments: --------------- Since a square is a rhombus, and the diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular bisectors of each other, then the diagonals of a square must be perpendicular bisectors of each other -------------------- A square has four-fold rotational symmetry - as you rotate it around the point where the diagonals cross, there are four positions in which it looks the same. This means that the four angles at the centre must be equal. They will each measure 360/4 = 90 degrees, so the diagonals are perpendicular. Also. the four segments joining the centre to a vertex are all equal, so the diagonals bisect each other.
What kind of parellogram is it If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent and are perpendicular bisectors of each other?
If the diagonals are congruent and are perpendicular bisectors of each other then the parallelogram is a square. If the diagonals are not congruent but are perpendicular bisectors of each other then the figure would be a rhombus.
Can a kit have congruent diagonals?
No but its diagonals are perpendicular to each other.
What quadrilateral has diagonals a are congruent perpendicular and bisect each other?
square
What shape has congruent diagonals that bisect each other but are not perpendicular?
Rectangle
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.
Can the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid be congruent and perpendicular?
The diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are equal in lengths but are not perpendicular to each other at right angles.
What type of parallelogram always has diagonals that are congruent and are perpendicular bisectors of each other?
square
Is a quadrilateral with congruent and perpendicular diagonals a square or a rhombus?
It could be a square, but consider the following congruent & perpendicular 'diagonals of a quadrilateral (you will have to connect the endpoints of the diagonals, yourself, as it cannot be drawn in text): . _|___ . | . | . | If the two diagonals, also bisect each other, then it's a square, otherwise it is not.
Are the diagonals of a square equal and perpindicular besides bisecting each other?
Yes, the diagonals of a square are congruent (equal in length) and are perpendicular.

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.
