Question

Which statements are always true for a rectangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

True☆The diagonals are congruent.

Not always X All sides are congruent. (Only for rectangles that are also rhombus = a square!)

Not always X The diagonals of a rectangle are perpendicular to each other. (Counterexample: draw a really long rectangle with a tiny, tiny width...the x made by the diagonals is clearly not perpendicular!)

True☆ The opposite sides are parallel. (Bc rectangles are parallelograms, part of the definition)

True☆All angles are congruent. (All four angles are right angles--part of the definition)
