If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect the angles, is the quadrilateral always a parallelogram? Explain your answer.

Yes. If the diagonals bisect the angles, the quadrilateral is always a parallelogram, specifically, a rhombus.

Consider quadrilateral ABCD. If diagonal AC bisects angles A and C, then ΔACB is congruent to ΔACD (ASA). Hence AB=AD and BC=CD (CPCTC).

Likewise, if diagonal BD bisects angles B and D, triangles BDA and BDC are congruent, thus AB=BC and AD=CD. (CPCTC again). Now, we have AB=BC=CD=AD, so the figure is a rhombus, hence a parallelogram.

$6r+5=11r\ \ \ \ |\text{subtract 6r from both sides}\\\\5=5r\ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\\boxed{r=1}\\-------------------------\\\dfrac{2x-4}{2}=6x+3\\\\\dfrac{2x}{2}-\dfrac{4}{2}=6x+3\\\\x-2=6x+3\ \ \ \ \ |\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\x=6x+5\ \ \ \ |\text{subtract 6x from both sides}\\\\-5x=5\ \ \ \ \ |\text{divide both sides by -5}\\\\\boxed{x=-1}$
