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: 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.
