Question

Which statement is true for a rhombus?

It is a parallelogram that has equal and non parallel opposite sides and diagonals bisect at right angles.

It is a parallelogram that has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, and diagonals bisect at right angles.

It is a parallelogram that has unequal and parallel opposite sides and diagonals do not bisect at right angles.

It is a parallelogram that has all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, and diagonals do not bisect at right angles.

Answer 1

Anybody?

Answer 2

I may be able to help. Lemme read up.

Answer 3

I know it's not the Third one..

Answer 4

Fair enough. I went ahead and did some quick research to verify all the rules (wanted to check to see if squares count as rhombuses; they do):


A simple (non self-intersecting) quadrilateral is a rhombus if and only if it is any one of the following:[5][6]
a quadrilateral with four sides of equal length (by definition)
a quadrilateral in which the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other
a quadrilateral in which each diagonal bisects two opposite interior angles
a parallelogram in which at least two consecutive sides are equal in length
a parallelogram in which the diagonals are perpendicular
a parallelogram in which a diagonal bisects an interior angle

Answer 5

Sorry about that; the site kicked me out for a while. Finally let me back in.

I can tell you that a quick google search also confirmed that angles must bisect at 90 degrees. So, let's do this!

Answer 6

Statement 1)

It is a parallelogram that has equal and non parallel opposite sides and diagonals bisect at right angles.

Is everything true about it?

Answer 7

sorry.. had site problems... let me check

Answer 8

I think.. It is a parallelogram!

Answer 9

Sorry; didn't see that you replied.

It is definitely a type of parallelogram! Just keep that fact in mind with the rule that the angles must bisect at 90 degrees (so if you draw two lines between each opposite angle, you should get a huge plus sign/cross), and what will the answer be?

Answer 10

Then It wouldn't be the first on either

Answer 11

That's correct! Sorry, for some reason the site won't tell me when you reply, so I don't want you to wait forever:

I usually don't give the answer out like this, but I'll tell you it's b). The sides are equal, the angles bisect at 90 degrees, and opposite sides are parallel. So it's either a square or a diamond.
