Question

1 multiple choice 1 point a parallelogram must be a rectangle if its diagonals bisect the angles through which they pass are congruent are perpendicular to each other bisect each other 2 multiple choice 1 point given the rhombus pqrs with diagonals \\( \overline { p r } \\) and \\( \overline { q s } \\). which of the following is not necessarily true? \\( \angle p s q \cong \angle p r q \\) \\( \overline { p r } \perp \overline { q s } \\) \\( \overline { p r } \\) bisects \\( \angle q p s \\) and \\( \angle q r s \\) \\( \angle p s q \cong \angle s q r \\) 3 multiple choice 1 point how are a rhombus and a square alike? they both have four equal sides. they both have four equal angles. they both have only one pair of parallel sides. they both have four right angles.

Explanation:

1.

Brief Explanations
  • Option 1: Diagonals bisecting angles is a property of a rhombus, not a rectangle.
  • Option 2: In a parallelogram, if diagonals are congruent, it is a rectangle (by the rectangle - parallelogram congruent diagonals theorem).
  • Option 3: Diagonals perpendicular to each other is a property of a rhombus.
  • Option 4: Diagonals bisecting each other is a property of all parallelograms.
Brief Explanations
  • Option 1: In a rhombus \(PQRS\) with diagonals \(PR\) and \(QS\), \(\angle PSQ\) and \(\angle PRQ\) are not necessarily congruent.
  • Option 2: The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular (\(PR\perp QS\)).
  • Option 3: The diagonals of a rhombus bisect the vertex angles (\(PR\) bisects \(\angle QPS\) and \(\angle QRS\)).
  • Option 4: In a rhombus, adjacent angles formed by a diagonal and a side are congruent (\(\angle PSQ\cong\angle SQR\) because \(PS\parallel QR\) and \(QS\) is a transversal, and also using the properties of a rhombus).
Brief Explanations
  • Option 1: A rhombus has four equal - length sides, and a square (which is a special type of rhombus) also has four equal - length sides.
  • Option 2: A rhombus has opposite angles equal, but not all angles are equal (unless it is a square). A square has four equal angles (all \(90^{\circ}\)).
  • Option 3: Both a rhombus and a square have two pairs of parallel sides.
  • Option 4: A rhombus does not have four right angles (unless it is a square). A square has four right angles.

Answer:

B. are congruent
