They are congruent B. They bisect each other C. They are perpendicular to each other D. They are perpendicular bisectors of each other

They are perpendicular when all four sides are the same. As two sides are not equal to the others, they are not perpendicular.|dw:1412298917416:dw| Note how it is not perpendicular with that rectangle.

Oh, I see so because it's a parallelogram they can't be perpendicular? Does that mean that they also don't bisect each other then? @TheLukeskywalker2

I think they bisect each other, but are not perpendicular.
