Question

current skill $ which of the following is not true for a rectangle? its diagonals bisect each other. it is a parallelogram. it has exactly two pairs of parallel sides. its diagonals do not always bisect each other.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rectangle properties

A rectangle is a type of parallelogram. In a parallelogram, diagonals bisect each other, and a parallelogram has two pairs of parallel sides. So for a rectangle:

  • Diagonals bisect each other (always true).
  • It is a parallelogram (true, as rectangles are special parallelograms with right angles).
  • It has two pairs of parallel sides (true, since it's a parallelogram).
  • The statement "Its diagonals do not always bisect each other" is false because in a rectangle (and all parallelograms), diagonals always bisect each other.

Answer:

Its diagonals do not always bisect each other.
