What shapes do the diagonals bisect each other?

Quadrilaterals

A B
in these quadrilaterals, the diagonals bisect each other paralellogram, rectangle, rhombus, square
in these quadrilaterals, the diagonals are congruent rectangle, square, isosceles trapezoid
in these quadrilaterals, each of the diagonals bisects a pair of opposite angles rhombus, square

In which quadrilateral diagonals does not bisect each other?

A kite is a quadrilateral with one axis of line symmetry. It has no rotational symmetry. A kite has two pairs of adjacent sides equal. The diagonals cross at right angles, but do not bisect each other.

What does it mean for diagonals to bisect each other?

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. In any parallelogram, the diagonals (lines linking opposite corners) bisect each other. That is, each diagonal cuts the other into two equal parts. In the figure above drag any vertex to reshape the parallelogram and convince your self this is so.

Which quadrilateral diagonals bisect each other at 90?

The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles (90°).

Do diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at 90 degree?

‘The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. We have proved that the opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal, so if two adjacent sides are equal, then all four sides are equal and it is a rhombus.

What is the opposite sides of a quadrilateral?

Two sides of a quadrilateral are called its opposite sides if they do not have a common end point. In the given figure, (AB, DC) and (AD, BC) are two pairs of opposite sides of quadrilateral ABCD. Two angles of a quadrilateral having a common arm are called its adjacent angles.

What is the diagonal of a pentagon?

five diagonals

What is the diagonal of hexagon?

The hexagon can be broken down into 6 equilateral triangles. Each side of the equilateral triangle is equal. Two of the combined lengths of the equilateral triangles join to form the diagonal of the hexagon. Therefore, the diagonal is twice the side length of the hexagon.
