A rhombus looks like this!
Which one do you think would fit perfectly?|dw:1377200785148:dw|

@AkashdeepDeb D?
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
Not quite!
All angles are not actually 90 right?
It is just the diagonals bisecting each other
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
So it should be?

C correct?
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
And why do you say that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i thought it was D because of the right angles in the middle
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
But those aren't the Angles of the rhombus right?
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
Why do you think C should be right? :)

because the diagonals

intersect

AT?

60

Don't you think it'd be 90 from the diagram?
See there is a difference between the angles of the rhombus and the diagonals intersection angle!

The correct option then would be A because it DOES HAVE all sides congruent!
B is INCORRECT because adjacent sides ARE equal!
C is incorrect because diagonals intersect at 90'
D is also incorrect because it can have any angle [EVEN 90'] :D
