Question

Analyze the diagram below and answer the question that follows. The figure shown is a rhombus. What condition would also make it a square? A. The figure would be a square if the diagonals were congruent. B. The figure would be a square if the diagonals were perpendicular. C. The figure would be a square if the diagonals bisected each other. D. None; a rhombus can never be a square. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

Answer:
A. The figure would be a square if the diagonals were congruent

Explanation:
Both the rhombus and the square are quadrilaterals in which all sides are equal.

The differences between the two are as follows:
1- In a rhombus:
- Each two opposite angles are equal (but not right)
- Diagonals are not equal, however, they bisect each other at 90°

2- In a square:
- All angles are right
- Diagonals are equal and bisect each other to give 45° angles

Comparing the differences with the given choices, we would find that the correct choice is A.

Hope this helps :)
