Help D;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure ? I thought rombuses didnt always have right angles.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

correct rhombuses need not have right angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ All squares are rhombuses (rhombi?), but not all rhombuses are square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im thinking it might be c but wouldn't diagonals on a rhombus be perpendicular?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets test each option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry my bad it is second congruent sides as all sides in the rhombus are equal with diagonals which are not equal and it does not have right angles

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

rhombus has all sides equal, so b is true. but lets test other options also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh wait really? i thought there were occasions in where rhombuses didnt have all sides equal either? hm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yea go wid b, others all are false

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

By definition, rhombus is a quadrilateral with ALL SIDES EQUAL.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what you saying is true about a kite.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but in rhombus, all sides are always equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay thanks alot. I hate terminologies. A medal for you :D.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is true. Thanks alot.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're wlcme :D
