Question 34

Which statement correctly describes the diagonals of a rhombus that is not a square?

  1. They are equal in length and also cross at right angles.
  2. They are equal in length but do not cross at right angles.
  3. They cross at right angles, but they are not equal in length.Correct answer
  4. They are neither equal in length nor perpendicular to each other.

Explanation

The diagonals of a rhombus meet at 90 degrees because the shape folds onto itself along each of them, yet one runs the long way across the shape and the other the short way, so their lengths differ unless every corner is square. Expecting the two to match in length imports a property of a shape with right angles, which a leaning rhombus does not have.
