Which phrase defines a rhombus? Choose all answers that are correct. A. a parallelogram with four congruent angles B. a parallelogram with four congruent sides C. a quadrilateral with four congruent angles D. a quadrilateral with four congruent sides multiple answers

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

plz answer

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

a rhombus has 4 congruent sides it is a parallelogram and a quadrilateral

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

ok

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok , A gives u rhombus but it gives square only thus its wrong B sounds good C seems had a problem as A D works , but in definition it must be of parallelogram family first

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

ok thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

np :)

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

the medal is for u

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

no lol , give it to anyone else bhaha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

D wont work as it stands right ?

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

uh.................srry to late XD

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@ganeshie8 this case wont work |dw:1414775312061:dw|

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

thats why i said it should be of parallelogram family

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

so its b, and d? right

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

LOL

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

no D doesnt hold , only b

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO...............KAY THX

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

IM GONNA PST ANOTHER 1

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

*POST

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only B looks good to me

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

:)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

@ganeshie8 - but can you have a shape like ikram drew with 4 equal sides?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

A : rectangle B : rhombus

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@cwrw238 im still not convinced fully on C and D

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

nor me

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

lol i have doubt about D now :O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

C : rectangle if the quadrilateral is convex, otherwise idk

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

C has to be a rectangle i think because each angle will be 90

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

well i think its only for a rectangle

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

form*

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok now D

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

D could be a square or a rhombus But I guess you could classify a square as a special kind of rhombus ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah square is a jack of all quadrilaterals

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

lol - that a great way to put it!!

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

so whats the answer's lol im back

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

if we could prove for part D , that its only convex then its also rhombus

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

B and most likely D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then ?

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

ok thx

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i think only convex shape is possible with 4 conguent sides

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

haha lol it need work xD there is a reason why when u define any special quadrilateral of parallelogram we say parallelogram , there must be something about it that D wont work :O or not lol idk

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

prove it when free :)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

im free now .

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay so since all four sides are congruent, can we say the two triangles separated by a diagonal are isosceles ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1414776719113:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Also those two triangles would be congruent by SSS congruence

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine so far

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yes

OpenStudy (yolomcswagginsggg):

lol u guys are still trying to answer this XD

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im not sure what i should try next

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yeah we can prove this : base angle of an isoscles triangle is never greater than 90
