Which of the following quadrilaterals have diagonals that bisect each other? A. Parallelogram B. Rectangle C. Square D. Rhombus

Directrix (directrix):

One of the properties of a parallelogram is that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So, the question becomes this: Which of those options are parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be D and A ?? @Directrix

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Well to me, I think it could be C as well

Directrix (directrix):

D and A options have both pairs of opposite sides parallel. The same holds for C and A as well. So, they are all parallelograms and therefore have diagonals that bisect each other. So, the answer is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all of them

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

*facepalm* Danny, reread that...you are right that all of the answers are correct. BUT what is that thing that all the answers have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there quads :/

Directrix (directrix):

>>all of them Yes, that is what I got. The answer to the Chopper's question lies in my post from above which I will re-post here: One of the properties of a parallelogram is that the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. So, the question becomes this: Which of those options are parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D :/

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

Which answer choice says parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A :(

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

there ya go :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :( :)

Directrix (directrix):

@Danny_Boy All of the listed quadrilaterals have diagonals that bisect each other. That is why I would choose all the options for the answer IF that is an option The question is, in my opinion, poorly written. If it had read: Which of the following is the most general name for a quadrilateral with diagonals that bisect each other, I would concur with @karatechopper As the question is posted, I am sticking with my "all of the them" response.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indeed that was the answer :( ..... which i got wrong :(

Directrix (directrix):

Sorry about that @Danny_Boy . I told you what I thought and why before somebody told you differently. So, I don't know what to say. Is there a replacement question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(...... but no i know thanks to all of you ......... :/

Directrix (directrix):

Then, just shake it off and move on to the next problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah yeah i did but did not pass hahahaha :(
