I'm stuck between rhombus and square.

Hello and welcome to Openstudy.

Hi!

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

This is a really simple question, it shouldn't take to long for me to explain. Yes, one of those answer choices that you said (rhombus or square) is correct.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

BUT, one of them doesn't have the diagonals as perpendicular.

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

Try drawing a rhombus and a square.

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

A square's diagonals are perpendicular correct?

OpenStudy (omarbirjas):

Now draw their diagonals.

OpenStudy (unofficialllyy):

Oh it's a rhombus.
