(Please help!!)The figure shown is a rhombus. What conditions would also make it a square? mult. choice.
a. the figure would be a congruent if the diagonals were congruent b. the figure would be a square if the diagonals were perpendicular c. the figure would be a square if the diagonals bisect each other d. none, a rhombus can never be a square.
its either A, B, or C.

how do you think it and why ?
the diagonales in a rhombus how are ?
how are what?
the diagonales in a rhombus are perpendiculare yes ? but not are equale
yes?
Option a makes no sense. The figure would be a ___?___ if the diagonals were congruent. What goes in ___?___ ?
square?
when the diagonales in a square are equale
so its either B or C right?
Every rhombus has perpendicular diagonals. The diagonals of every rhombus bisect each other. A rectangle has congruent diagonals.
The answers D
?
Notice the statement "A rectangle has congruent diagonals."
Is a square a rhombus?
yes.
ohh so it would be A? instead.
A rhombus may or may not be a square.
im confused.
If a rhombus is a rectangle, then it also a square.
...
If a rhombus has congruent diagonals (option a), then the rhombus is a rectangle. If a rhombus is a rectangle, then it is also a square.
The answer is A.
it was A. Thanks :)
@mathstudent55 sorry but i think that a rhombus is allways a rectangle because has 4 sides but a square is allways a rhombus because the oppsosite sides are paralelle and equale so if i remember right from my math studies
