Best answer gets medal! Thanks anyway though! The parallelogram has the angle measures shown. Can you conclude that it is a rhombus, rectangle, or square? Explain.

@anyonewhocanpossiblyhelpme

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hope you know that a rhombus is parallelogram too because the opposite sides are parallels but a parallelogram not is always rhombus because the opposite sides nor are equal - ok,?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I know that a rhombus is a parallelogram. But I still need to find out if I can classify the shape as a rhombus, square, or rectangle.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what is the property of a rectangle ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Two opposite sides are congruent and there are four right angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also the diagonals are congruent

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes so in this case there are theses propertys satisfied ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what you know again about diagonals of a rhombus ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that mostly I am overthinking it. I think I'm confusing myself with the other diagonal missing. But no it is not a rectangle

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes is right - not is rectangle sure can you answering my above question please ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other and bisect opposite angles

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly like in above case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it is a rhombus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the diagonals bisect opposite angles?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

this is your opinion or this is a question please ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im asking if that's the answer

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

how you think now after we have clarified these above wrote properties of diagonals of a rhombus ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that the shape is a rhombus becuase the properties of a rhombus state that the diagonals bisect opposite angles of a paralleogram. Am I correct?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes you are right but without this last part with ,,of a parallelogram "

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks, I was just really overcomplicating it!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

the diagonals of a rhombus are bisector too

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. was my pleasure so you understand it now sure right - yes ?
