a quadrilateral in which diagonal are equal but are not perpendicular to each other is what
Answers
Answer:
Unlike a kite, a rhombus is a quadrilateral with all sides of equal length. A rhombus can also be called a type of parallelogram because its sides are parallel to each other. The sum of angles in a rhombus is 360°. Opposite angles are equal to each other and adjacent angles are supplementary angles.

Properties of Rectangles
We see different kind of shapes around us all the time. Some are geometrical, some are not, some are 2 dimensional and some are 3 dimensional and so on. The rectangle is one of the important and interesting shapes that is studied in geometry. It is a four-sided polygon with straight sides, a flat shape and with four right angles. The rectangle is one of the common geometric shapes we find in our daily life. All the daily things we use, like a table, books, mobile phones, magazines, TV screen, etc. all are rectangles.
A rectangle can be defined as a four-sided quadrilateral with all its four angles being 90°. A rectangle with all sides equal to each other is called as a square. A rectangle is also a parallelogram but a special parallelogram, with equal angles.
Now let us learn the properties of a rectangle. Rectangles have all the properties of a parallelogram because at the end it is a parallelogram. But what makes rectangle special are the extra properties apart from the properties of a parallelogram. In a rectangle, all the angles are equal and equal to 90 degrees. The diagonals of a rectangle are equal which is not equal in case of a parallelogram. In a parallelogram, diagonals are just bisectors, in a rhombus diagonal are perpendicular bisectors. The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent.
Some properties of rectangles are mentioned in the points below.
A rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles
Each of the interior angles of a rectangle is 90° making the sum of interior angle to be 360°.
The diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.
The opposite sides of a rectangle are parallel.
The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
A rectangle whose side lengths are a and b has area ab sin 90° = ab.
A rectangle whose side lengths are a and b has perimeter 2a + 2b
Each diagonal of a rectangle is a diameter of its circumcircle.
