Question

given the figure as marked, identify the most specific type of quadrilateral.
select the best answer from the choices provided.
a. parallelogram
b. rhombus
c. rectangle
d. square

Explanation:

A rhombus has diagonals that bisect each other at right angles. A parallelogram has diagonals that bisect each other but not necessarily at right - angles. A rectangle has diagonals that are equal in length and bisect each other. A square has diagonals that are equal in length, bisect each other, and are perpendicular. In the given figure, the diagonals are perpendicular and bisect each other, but there is no indication that the diagonals are equal (which would be required for a square). So, it fits the properties of a rhombus.

Answer:

B. rhombus
