12 multiple-choice questions, progressively harder.
Rectangle ABCDABCDABCD has a diagonal ACACAC of 262626 cm. What is the length of diagonal BDBDBD?
Solution
Correct answer: B
A rectangle has congruent whole diagonals.
Thus BD also measures 26 cm.
A rhombus has diagonals meeting at OOO. What is the measure of each angle formed by the diagonals?
Correct answer: D
Rhombus diagonals are perpendicular.
Perpendicular lines form four right angles, each measuring 90 degrees.
In rhombus ABCDABCDABCD, angle DABDABDAB measures 138∘138^\circ138∘. What is the measure of angle BACBACBAC?
Correct answer: A
The diagonal AC bisects the whole angle at A.
The requested half-angle measures 69 degrees.
Which statement about every square is true?
Correct answer: C
A square has four right angles, so it is a rectangle.
It also has four congruent sides, so it is a rhombus. Rotation preserves both facts.
You know that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Which extra fact guarantees a rectangle?
Congruent diagonals identify a rectangle among parallelograms.
Bisection is already a parallelogram property. The other two conditions identify rhombi and need not give right angles.
You know that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Which extra fact guarantees a rhombus?
Perpendicular diagonals identify a rhombus among parallelograms.
Congruent diagonals identify a rectangle. Congruent opposite sides and opposite angles are already parallelogram properties.
The diagonals of rectangle JKLMJKLMJKLM meet at OOO. If JOJOJO is 171717 cm, what is the length of KMKMKM?
A rectangle is a parallelogram, so O bisects JL.
The whole diagonals are congruent, so KM measures 34 cm.
In a rhombus, which angles does diagonal ACACAC necessarily bisect?
A diagonal bisects the two vertex angles at its own endpoints.
For AC those endpoints are A and C. The other diagonal handles B and D.
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. What extra fact is still needed to use the congruent-diagonal rectangle test?
Bisection says the two halves of each diagonal agree.
The rectangle test needs equality between the two whole diagonal lengths; that does not follow from bisection.
A parallelogram has one right angle. Which conclusion is guaranteed?
The angle opposite the given right angle is congruent to it. Each neighboring angle is supplementary to a right angle, so it is also right.
Four right angles establish a rectangle; equal adjacent sides were not given.
A square has diagonals meeting at OOO. What is the measure of angle BACBACBAC when its boundary vertices are A,B,C,DA,B,C,DA,B,C,D?
A square has a 90-degree angle at A. As a rhombus, it has a diagonal AC that bisects that angle.
The measure is 45 degrees.
A convex quadrilateral has perpendicular diagonals. Which further hypothesis lets you conclude that it is a rhombus?
The sufficient theorem applies to a parallelogram with perpendicular diagonals.
Boundary order, convexity, and intersection alone do not supply the missing parallelogram evidence.
