(Please help!!)The figure shown is a rhombus. What conditions would also make it a square? mult. choice.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its either A, B, or C.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how do you think it and why ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the diagonales in a rhombus how are ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how are what?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the diagonales in a rhombus are perpendiculare yes ? but not are equale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Option a makes no sense. The figure would be a ___?___ if the diagonals were congruent. What goes in ___?___ ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

when the diagonales in a square are equale

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its either B or C right?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Every rhombus has perpendicular diagonals. The diagonals of every rhombus bisect each other. A rectangle has congruent diagonals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answers D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice the statement "A rectangle has congruent diagonals."

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Is a square a rhombus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so it would be A? instead.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A rhombus may or may not be a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

If a rhombus is a rectangle, then it also a square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

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.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The answer is A.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it was A. Thanks :)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

@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
