Question

select the diagonal characteristic(s) that apply to a rectangle. a diagonals bisect b diagonals are congruent c diagonals are perpendicular

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangle properties

In a rectangle, the diagonals bisect each other. This means they divide each other into two equal - length segments.

Step2: Recall congruency property

The diagonals of a rectangle are congruent, i.e., they have the same length. This can be proven using the Pythagorean theorem in the right - angled triangles formed by the sides of the rectangle and the diagonals.

Step3: Analyze perpendicularity

The diagonals of a rectangle are not perpendicular in general (except for the special case of a square which is a special type of rectangle).

Answer:

A. Diagonals bisect, B. Diagonals are congruent
