Question

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

Explanation:

• For option A: Diagonals are perpendicular in rhombuses (a type of parallelogram) but not all parallelograms (e.g., rectangles that are not squares), so this is not a universal property of parallelograms.
• For option B: Diagonals are congruent in rectangles (a type of parallelogram) but not in all parallelograms (e.g., rhombuses that are not squares), so this is not a universal property.
• For option C: By the definition and properties of a parallelogram, the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This is a fundamental property of all parallelograms.

Answer:

C. Diagonals bisect
