which of the following characteristics do the square and rhombus not have in common?
all sides are congruent
diagonals are perpendicular
diagonals are congruent
diagonals bisect each other
Response
Question 3
Brief Explanations
- A square has all angles 90° and opposite sides equal, so it's a rectangle (since a rectangle requires 4 right angles and opposite sides equal). So "All squares are rectangles" is true.
- A rectangle has opposite sides equal and 4 right angles, but a square also requires all sides equal. A rectangle can have length ≠ width (e.g., a 2x4 rectangle isn't a square), so "All Rectangles are squares" is false.
- A rectangle has opposite sides parallel and equal (defining a parallelogram), so "all rectangles are parallelograms" is true.
- A square has opposite sides parallel and equal (defining a parallelogram), so "all squares are parallelograms" is true.
Brief Explanations
- Square: all sides congruent; Rhombus: all sides congruent. So this is a common characteristic.
- Square: diagonals are perpendicular; Rhombus: diagonals are perpendicular. So this is a common characteristic.
- Square: diagonals are congruent (equal in length); Rhombus: diagonals are not necessarily congruent (they bisect each other at right angles but can have different lengths). So this is not a common characteristic.
- Square: diagonals bisect each other; Rhombus: diagonals bisect each other. So this is a common characteristic.
