Diagonal properties of square, rectangle and square
Answers
Answer:
A square is a special case of a rhombus (equal sides, opposite equal angles), a kite (two pairs of adjacent equal sides), a trapezoid (one pair of opposite sides parallel), a parallelogram (all opposite sides parallel), a quadrilateral or tetragon (four-sided polygon), and a rectangle (opposite sides equal, right-angles) and therefore has all the properties of all these shapes, namely:[5]
The diagonals of a square bisect each other and meet at 90°
The diagonals of a square bisect its angles.
Opposite sides of a square are both parallel and equal in length.
All four angles of a square are equal. (Each is 360°/4 = 90°, so every angle of a square is a right angle.)
All four sides of a square are equal.
The diagonals of a square are equal.
The square is the n=2 case of the families of n-hypercubes and n-orthoplexes.
A square has Schläfli symbol {4}. A truncated square, t{4}, is an octagon, {8}. An alternated square, h{4}, is a digon, {2}.
The rectangle has the following properties:
All the properties of a parallelogram apply (the ones that matter here are parallel sides, opposite sides are congruent, and diagonals bisect each other).
All angles are right angles by definition.
The diagonals are congruent.
