Opposite angles are congruent.

The diagonals are perpendicular to and bisect each other.

Adjacent angles are supplementary (For eg., A + B = 180).

A rhombus is a parallelogram whose diagonals are perpendicular to each

other.

Important formulas for a Rhombus

If a and b are the lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus,

Area = (a* b) / 2

Perimeter = 4L

Trapezium

Properties of a Trapezium
The bases of the trapezium are parallel to each other (MN OP).

No sides, angles and diagonals are congruent.

Do opposite sides in a quadrilateral have to be equal in order for

it to have diagonals that are perpendicular?

Maryam says: Reply

October 8, 2017 at 11:12 am

Yes when sides on opposite are equal then only the

diagnols perpendicularly bisect each other

K.K.Mukherjee says: Reply

November 7, 2017 at 1:21 pm

It is not correct.The diagonals are perpendicular

if and only if all the sides are equal as in the
case of a rhombus or a square.
The diagonals will be perpendicular also if the
pairs of adjacent sides are equal as in the case of
a kite

 Are the measure of a pair of parallel sides in a trapezium equal?

Harish says: Reply

September 9, 2017 at 10:04 pm

No they are not.

If they were, it would become a parallelogram and a
trapezium is not a parallelogram
