Are the diagonals of a quadrilateral perpendicular

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Not all quadrilaterals have perpendicular diagonals. The ones that do are: the kite the rhombus and the square. To find all the information about quadrilaterals try this page: http://www.1728.org/quadltrl.htm

But most of the quadrilaterals have their diagonals to be perpendicular.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

But your question "Are the diagonals of a quadrilateral perpendicular" seems to imply ALL quadrilaterals.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am not sure,but i think the diagonals of all the quadrilaterals are perpendicular,because diagonals bisect each other. am not sure of my answer...

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

No - Not all quadrilaterl diagonals bisect each other. and not all diagonals meet at right angles either. Trapezoid, Parallelogram and Rectangles diagonals do NOT meet at right angles.
