Which figure must be a rhombus? A. a quadrilateral with congruent diagonals B. a quadrilateral with four right angles C. a parallelogram with four congruent angles D. a parallelogram with four congruent sides
This might help https://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/rhombus.html
a rhombus is a figure with 2 pairs of parellel sides and and all sides are equal
thats what i thought, but i cant figure out which one says that,
is it a?
hint: what is another way of saying `equal` ?
equivalent
what is another way to say equal or equivalent think of in terms of geometry
congruent
the question was aimed at @dantedemon20
you beat me to it i was gonna say that..
look at the site @jim_thompson5910 gave you. It should help a lot sorry
k
im gonna say a, am i right?
@wcrmelissa2001
i don't think so? Based on the defintion of the rhombus (which you should know) its should be d? @jim_thompson5910 just double checking
because i believe congruent diaganols doesn't necessarily mean that all four sides are equal or congruent and the sides must be congruent for it to be a rhombus. You get what I'm saying?
yes, a rhombus has 4 congruent sides if you have congruent diagonals, then you have a rectangle. You need to have those diagonals perpendicular for it to also be a rhombus (and it's also a square at this point). So A isn't correct
basically you could have congruent diagonals and there is a possiblity that the sides would not be parallel, hence no rhombus|dw:1452913347643:dw| the drawing isn't accurate but assume the diagonals are the same. Are the sides parallel? no.
