To mark: the appropriate features of the given quadrilaterals in the table.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: A feature of a quadrilateral and four types of quadrilaterals.
The four basic quadrilaterals are considered here which are Parallelogram, Rectangle, Rhombus and Square. The given feature is that, a diagonal of the quadrilateral bisect its
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral in which, the diagonals divide themselves into two equal segments about their point of intersection and in many cases, the diagonals need not divide the opposite angles of the parallelogram equally.
A parallelogram whose diagonals bisect its angles is referred to as a rhombus. And a square shows the features of a rhombus as well with its own specific features. A rectangle does not satisfy this property.
Thus, the feature is valid for only rhombus and square as marked below.
Property | Parallelogram | Rectangle | Rhombus | Square |
A diag bisects two | ✔ | ✔ |
