Question

Which of the following best describe(s) the diagonals of a rectangle. Select all that apply.

Answer 1

The answers are congruent and intersecting

Answer 2

Answer:  The correct options are (a) congruent and (d) intersecting.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are to select the correct options that best describes the diagonals of a rectangle.

RECTANGLE:  A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which

(i) the adjacent sides are perpendicular,

(ii) opposite sides are parallel and congruent,

(iii) Each angle is a right angle,

(iv) The diagonals are congruent and bisect each other.

For example, in the attached figure, ABCD is a rectangle.

The diagonals AC and BD are congruent and they intersect at the point 'O' such that AO = OC, BO = OD.

Therefore, the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent and intersecting.

Thus, the correct options are (a) and (d).
