what is the diffrence betwen diagonals of square and rhombus
Answers
Answer:
The sides of a square are perpendicular to each other whereas the sides of a rhombus are not perpendicular to each other. All the angles of a square are equal whereas only the opposite angles of a square are equal. The two diagonals of a square are always equal in length while the two diagonals of a rhombus are unequal....
1. The diagonals of a square are equal while those of a rhombus are unequal.
2. In both a square and a rhombus the product of the diagonals divided by 2 gives the area of the figure.
3. In both a square and a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
4. In both a square and a rhombus the diagonals bisect the angles.
5. The angles at the ends of the 2 diagonals of a square are all right angles but in the case of a rhombus, the angles at the ends of the shorter diagonal are obtuse while the angles at the end of the longer diagonal the angles are acute.
6. The diagonals of a square form 4 congruent isosceles right angle triangles. The diagonals of a square rhombus form 4 congruent right angle triangles, but they are not isosceles.
7. Join the midpoints of the 4 sides of a square, you will get a square whose sides are parallel to the diagonals. The length of the sides will be half the length of the diagonals.
Join the midpoints of the 4 sides of a rhombus, you will get a rectangle whose sides are parallel to the diagonals. The sides will half the length of the diagonal to which they are parallel.
