Question
The diagonals are (perpendicular, parallel)
Answers
GPT-4o mini
To determine whether the diagonals of a particular shape or figure are perpendicular or parallel, we need to specify which geometric shape we are discussing.
1. **Rectangles**: In a rectangle, the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other but are not perpendicular or parallel.
2. **Squares**: In a square, the diagonals are equal in length, bisect each other at right angles (90 degrees), so they are perpendicular.
3. **Rhombuses**: In a rhombus, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other and bisect each other as well.
4. **Parallelograms**: In a parallelogram, the diagonals bisect each other but are neither perpendicular nor parallel.
5. **Trapezoids (Trapezia)**: In a trapezoid, the diagonals are generally not parallel and can be either intersecting or not, depending on the specific type of trapezoid.
6. **Kites**: In a kite, one pair of diagonals is perpendicular to each other.
